just called the skate company - they said that they are all gone and at the mo they're trying to sort through them all to see who actually got what. the guy sounded pretty stressed and said he couldn't believe that they 'had sold out in just one night'. i told that that's nothing, and that his work usually sells out in a matter of minutes......... he sounded most perplexed....

Very bones Brigade(powell peralta) Yep, for sure. I think Shep did this artwork. The cliche at the BRP was similar to this too, same eyes even except one was bigger than the other.  Quote from D's site acknowledging the influences behind his decks. I was asked by English skate company Enuff if I'd like to do a set of boards... skateboarding changed my life, the early graphics by Santa Cruz and Powell were some of the first and most inspirational artwork I saw as a kid and changed my life right then and there, these boards are a tribute to those early graphics. Respect.

sorry why are they upto £50??? i dont get it I guess because they sold out very quickly. To be honest I do not think an extra £14 when delivery is included is too much extra. They could have doubled the price and I think they would have sold. |

I have just spoken to a very stressed bloke there who tells me that these will be limited to 200 each design, 200 for the UK and 200 for the rest of the world, he has now bought all of them but it cost him more, hence the price increase, assured me he was not making extra cash but even if he did, £14 on each deck is not gonna make him rich is it!!

he also told me that wheels and trucks are being made - wheels in next week, trucks the week after: all d's designs - order now if ou want a complete deck if i were you.
he also said that there is another new set of four set to drop next month...............

What? Surely they have to honour the price we purchased them at?

200 decks of each design = 800 decks in total! He said 200 for the UK and 200 for the rest of the world, of each I'm assuming. That'll equal 1600 decks. |

You cant really say "whats another £14", I mean if it went up £18 that would have been a 50% price increase. |
