What we've been up to in the Back & Forth studio over the past month...
Maverick Skateparks Boards
We hand screened these striking metallic silver and black decks for Dorset-based skatepark builders, Maverick Skateparks (@maverickskate). Maverick is a skater-run business specialising in the design and installation of spray concrete skateparks. The boards will be available soon on their website.
Reece Boulton’s ‘Raining Death’ Boards
We used UV transfers to print this run of Japanese-inspired ‘Raining Death’ 9” boards for the talented tattoo artist Reece Boulton (@reece_bolt). These boards were limited to only 15 pieces, each hand-numbered and signed with stickers. Check out more of
Reece’s work below.
Cow Skateshop T Shirts
We hand-screened these black and white contrast T-shirts for Hackney Wick’s newest addition to the skate scene, Cow Skateshop (@cowskateshop). These will be available when they open very soon. Check out their Instagram page below for the latest updates.
Kid Acne’s ERANU/UVAVU Boards
We hand-pulled these bright and bold two-colour limited edition popsicle boards for artist, illustrator, and hip-hop musician Kid Acne (@kidacne). "ERANU/UVAVU" is a song by Kid Acne, taken from the current album "HAUNTOLOGY CODES" - out now on LEX Records. This skateboard graphic is based on the mural he painted in Sheffield earlier this year for the music video. This board is available now on Kid Acne’s website below.
Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider Setups
We were honoured to have been chosen to print these boards in celebration of Anthony Horowitz’s newest Alex Rider story, "Nightshade Revenge." These setups will be displayed in the windows of Foyles bookshop on the Southbank, next to London’s iconic Southbank Skate Space. They will also be up for grabs in an online competition. Enter below for your chance to win.
Mat Riley T Shirts
We hand-screened these ‘Hug Your Friends’ T-shirts for artist and author Mat Riley (@thelifeofrileyfamily). The shirts feature the words ‘hug your friends’ on the front left breast and a large graphic on the back, created by Mat himself. These shirts are now available at the East Art Fair (@eastartfairlondon) at Spitalfields Market and also on his website below.
SKKRRBS Boards
We used a UV heat transfer to print these intricate, photographic boards for Sherbourne-based skate crew SKKRRBS (@skkrrbs). Check out their page for clips, skate lessons
and clothes.
The Ultimate Guide to
Printing Custom Skateboard Decks
From design and partner selection, to printing and fulfilment. This comprehensive guide delves deep into the art and science of printing custom skateboard decks, offering invaluable insights for both seasoned professionals and newcomers to the industry.
Skaters Can’t Afford £90 Decks!
With the rising price of branded decks, now is an excellent time to consider stocking your own graphics for your shop or brand. We consistently stock ASF/Clutch wood, starting at £16 per blank.
