Anybody that has skateboarded for even a short time can remember the graphics on their deck. Some how those graphics spoke to you. It represents a time in our life and its how we chose the deck and proudly showed the art on the bottom and yet, when the deck was put to it’s real purpose the art was sadly ruined. Its seems an odd place for some of the best art around. Skateboarding is all about the stunts, tricks, performance, but there is another aspect behind all that. A creative aspect that deserves it’s place in history. Its a place for personal expression and stunning creations. They may be fleeting expressions, or maybe not. Perhaps the deck has been preserved and now proudly displayed. Other graphics may be slightly scarred but still deserve a place to be admired. In fact, for some, the dings and scars add to the character of the art. Of course, there is the art that is never meant to be thrashed, just enjoyed. What ever your taste, skateboard graphics are an amazing array of all levels of artistic expression.

Every subculture has its own language and one sure way to stand out as a newbie is to confuse the lingo or to overdo the terms by using “dude” in every sentence. Wether you ride free style, flat ground, vert or street the terminology thrown around is a language all its own Many sites give overviews, vocab and terms that try to explain, but living it, hearing it, and using the language is another story. Below are some sites designed for the parents, grandparents, relatives and who ever needs a little insight into the world of skate lingo. After spending some time in this subculture it all becomes clear. The latest terminology that we are proud to add, is “Puck your deck” If you don’t know what that means you can find it here. http://www.skatepuck.com
