What a good entry level camera? Filming on my iPhone is getting pretty tedious

Do you know if spray paint will come off as a real wear graphic?

I have a GE X500 which is amazing for photography, let alone videos as well! I recommend that.




@Yisus Pablo ,

Spray paint won't wear off like a real wear printed graphic, it'll slowly fade away after so much time of usage, but it won't wear away like real wear.

hmm, im testing some silk screen graphics and they seem to wear off very nice, but i wanted to make some background graphics with spray, any recommendation?

Yisus i think spraying a deck then screen printing on it would be an awesome way to do graphics, just make sure you dont put too much spray paint on 1st

i think the best thing to do is try it an see, an post lots of pics on here! sounds cool though

sure ill try! thanks bro
btw, has anyone tried decal paper for graphics? do they wear?

you can take bearings out of any wheel.

Yes! I actually changed around bearings between two flat face wheels, but it does mean when you put bearings back in they tend to pop out a bit and you will have to click the bearings back into place.

Whats shipping from Oak wheels to the UK like?
I ordered something 10 days ago and I had sort of hoped to have had it in a week.

Are paper graphics acceptable for selling?

Yisus - On the whole paper graphics get some stick BUT there are a few companies (ambt is the main one that springs to mind) that do it and the decks look damn nice. Personally, the spraypaint/silkscreen combo sounds better to me.

I was speaking to Brian from fbsupplyco about graphics recently, and he suggested t-shirt decal paper, so that's definitely an option.

You can also woodprint by running the bottom ply through a printer before pressing, which I think is how Weca apply graphics (or used to anyway), though this isn't real wear it does look awesome.

Also woodburning, handpainting and engraving are good graphic application techniques.

Today I came up with a method that is a paper graphic but it also wears, so i think ill be doing both, wearable and non wearable paper graphics.
The spray paint and screen print also was a cool idea and it wears really nice buuut my screen fucked up and its a reaaaal pain in the ass to screen print a design on a fingerboard.
The decal paper i was talking about i havent seen it on tshirts, its also called waterslide decal, is more used on scale planes, nails, mugs, scale cars and hobby stuff, thanks!

So I just ordered a set of oak wheels minis last night, and they didnt give me a tracking number but i know my package has been sent out, i live in canada so i was wondering if anyone has ordered straight from their site before and how long it took them for their package to arrive, just wanted to know a rough estimate on how long it will take for them to show up. Thanks

Jesus christ, ill be waiting a month I guess, its pretty stupid they give your tracking considering its coming right from the factory, atleast blackriver was nice enough to give me a number

I think in future I will likely order from somwhere like FBS or TNP but hey ho, if you don't think about it they will arrive faster haha
