Custom Stoke!....Part One

Post by cactus » Thu Jan 14, 2010 2:16 pm

One of the biggest buzzes I get from making boards for my friends nowadays,
is pick-up day...

These days I've a "real" job and don't have a lot of spare time to devote to what I'd rather be doing...shaping.
So it can be a long and anxous wait for the poor bug*ers..
Pick-up day and they're frothin..

This is my mate Tuna, he's a Proper local. Tuna generally doesn't have much money and has been wanting a quad to try.
Tuna's aunty is a brilliant artist and I've been after some of her work.
So we organised a deal which didn't involve money .
He's stoked..I'm stoked..It's all good

This board is 6-4>19.5>2.5

Sorry for the large images..If someone can help me out with re-sizing I'd be much appreciated !

Nice looking sled mate.

To resize, I usually just drop the image into 'paint' (in the accessories area in your start menu) and resize them there.

There's probably a better way but I've become so used to doing it this way I find it pretty fast.

Hey Guys

There is a picture resize tool for XP available from Microsoft
