**skatan** · 08-20-2007 05:26 PM

Hi all! Im new here and im from Sweden. So I thought that it would be nice to post some pics of my creation. I made it because:
1. I need something smaller than my 46" pintail when school starts (it doesn't fit in the locker)
2. I just love carvy boards and the shape and looks of rocker

3. Its so fun to create ur own board

So here it is, about 25" long and almost 7" wide with Tracker B-2 trucks, Slipstream 70mm 78a wheels and WARP Abec5 bearings

thx guys!

Yes its a blast. U only need to get enough speed to carve/pump it hard and fast and then u can go so until ur exhausted

I had a little humu swimming around in my backhead when creating this board as u can see

u know what skatan means? the idea of the name came out this way:
Me and my friend agreed over building a couple of smaller boards (gonna make a 60" or something later) just for fun, and im creative enough to make an own logo and name for our "brand". So, we gave it the name H5N1 (birdflu virus) and added a slogan which said Smittsamma Jävla Brädor (Contagious F*cking Boards in english). So the name S(k)atan was born by the name of the "brand", because Skatan means Magpie, and the board would be a little devilish, so if u remove the K in Skatan u get Satan

Hence the name S(k)atan.
(the thingy on the grip is supposed to resemble a magpie)
