Live fast, die pretty

In Tolleson, Arizona a kool couple now can roll together on their GB44s. He got one for himself a while back and recently ordered one for his wife that is into the roller derby scene.
He had me paint on her team's logo and motto.
Came out pretty good.



Arizona is now a hot-bed of GarageBomb activity.
There's quite a few there now.

Thanks Kelly!

POTO 5

"Haha it is just our "code" word that we all use when we bomb car garages or hills we aren't suppose to be on and u see a cop in sight trying to hate on us longboarders we scream out "poto5" instead of like 5-0 or cops.. LOL easy way we communicate so those pigs don't get a hold of us.." is what my latest client from Austin tells me..Haha indeed.

Welcome to GarageBomb Longboards

GarageBomb Longboards was started March 15, 2006...beware the Ides of March!
GarageBombs are large, plank longboards handmade in a garage in San Antonio, Texas. Shaped out of Russian Baltic birch hardwood plywood, then fitted with very good quality parts that are made (as much as possible) in the USA (bearings are tricky). I try to keep them fun and affordable and offer custom artwork.
Originally inspired by the amazing videos of Adam Colton (whoisadamcolton.com), I decided I wanted a massive skateboard for myself, but didn't want to shell out several hundred bucks on what was available commercially...in case I didn't like it. I decided to make my own, so I went down to the Russian Baltic birch hardwood plywood store (not Home Depot) and picked out a sheet of then very affordable 5'x5', .75" material. I made a 54" surfboard shape, then bought some Randal RII-180 trucks and Gravity Fu Manchu wheels and a length of grip tape through my good old friend Toby Johnson who at the time owned SA Skatepark (RIP the skatepark). I stained it "grass green" and brushed on a coat of urethane. Me and my now regular skate crew took it out for some testing at a massive parking garage we call "BIG 5". It did great as we all took turns surfing the garage in the middle of the night until we were asked to leave (politely) by the security guard on duty. As we were leaving, the guard stopped me and was fascinated by my big green machine and said he'd love to have one of them for himself. The thing was a hit and I had enough material to make five or six more decks. I made three more after using some of the material to create a template and GarageBombs were born.
That 54" shape has made several evolutionary changes and spawned a 44" version.
I was numbering them, but lost count. There are around 300 of these things floating around now, all over Texas, the US and as far away as Brasilia, Brazil. The internet has made this possible and I thank all my friends and clients on all the forums and communties that I am involved in. This would not have gotten to be whatever it is without you.

Thanks!
Much more to come...I ain't done havin' fun yet!
