Blackriver sells theirs at $10 a pop, but I just found these mini pallet drink coasters that are $18 at a set of 5. They seem similar enough to me! Thoughts..? http://shop.coolmaterial.com/products/pallet-coasters

Is there a way to skate these? I've always wondered what people use them for.

They're just cool little things to add to your spots. People use them as fillers for gaps so that they're actually ollieing over something, or stack them to prop a ledge up so that it's on a slant rather than level. Shit like that.

That's a damn good find! Better than BRR imo.
Edit: The whole site is pretty sweet haha

Got a set quite a while at 15€, there are similar than the BRRs except the are glued. They totally worth it ! You can find them cheaper I guess, searching for "Labyrinth palette"

Oooh, this is an awesome discovery! I would never buy a BRR pallet, the only reason I have one is because I got one in a contest. I may pick some up now that you showed us this.

This is awesome, and yeah I would never buy a BRR pallet. I can make them for under $3. But this is awesome because these are way cleaner than the ones I make.

You might think its expensive, but let's be honest, how long would it take you to make a pallet to the standard of a BRR one ? They are really nice.
They are also made in Germany by somebody getting paid fair wages instead of some slave driven, poorly paid Chinese worker.

I honestly don't care that much Don't get me wrong, I totally appreciate the effort and seriousness that BRR puts into their products, but $13 is a little too much for me. This is just a nice alternative. But you are right, it probably has nothing on the craftsmanship the BRR does

Amen to that! I think that most of the BRR are a bit pricey, but their quality is top notch! Not a finger to put on 'em And I've got quite a lot of things from them.

theres the point everyone is missing
also these are made in spain (I think) and seem SUPER legit...Im not really into pallets id rather spend my $$ on something else.
Ya know, I made those concrete coasters. I had the same intention, they would be good as a manny pad, they really aren't haha. Now I have about 3 lying around, and no intention to use them. But the first link you showed us was cool. (Bit pricey though).

Thought some people would appreciate this since we're talking about just diy instead of buying.
