Colour Blind pro deck
This is a board for the big legged and strong willed, two things I don’t have, especially the strong willed part as I have been trying to stop drinking for two weeks and the most I can muster is two days. I mean, that in itself is pretty good. However the first skate was like stepping into a sub universe, once in, you stay in.
The board has to be placed right from the get go and then it does the rest itself, a bit like being in control of a big car or van, it’s all on the first touch. There’s no correcting your mistakes with a board this size, which is no bad thing, Strangely this size board can have a profound effect on your thinking. Will it flip? Will it take a huge amount of effort? The answer to that is yeah it flips, but it all about commitment as it takes a little welly to get it going.
The graphics as you can see will let you fit in at any party in East London, especially if you team these colours with some two colour Ray Ban wayfarer shades. Shape wise It has a large rounded nose and tail, which adds even more to the beastly, oil rig feeling and I am some what amazed at the board being for a street skater, so I hope this board is made to Mike’s spec, as he has the perfect street steeze and I guess if you go big you need a board that is solid as a rock like this one.
There is no fear of this snapping on a back lip at all and it would really suite a skater that is perhaps slight taller than average as there has been a lot of “I’ll swap that board for this” from some taller friends. Overall thumbs up to Alien Workshop for knocking out a board of such quality. Go Big or Go Home.
