V.E.S. Custom 1986 Vision Punk Skull Build

Notice the dried glue residue across the graphics and the stress cracks from time and use.

See the flaking paint and the MANY MANY dry wood cracks! When the outside layers of wood dry over and over the graphics tend to be just barely holding on, like this board. A board in this condition will get traded or sold more, and each time, the board gets a little worse. I rate this board a 3, and thats because it has half the graphics left but only about 10 more bad years of life before its fire wood to someone. Let's see how we can change the direction of this board and put some value back in. The world is now full of skateboarders, and that means more collectors that want some real vintage skateboard history. The new copies of the past are not the same thing to collectors. And if you don't believe me, just ask one. Innovation in this kind of skateboarding is a must, if we are going to save our skateboards history for the world to share in the future. 

Is this board worth saving? 

To us yes!! 

 The glue has been removed and the stress cracks on top of board sealed. The graphics and aged patina colors of this board are now preserved  and protected for  many many more years. 

The boards wood damage has been reversed under the graphics, and all stress cracks were sealed. The razor tail was fixed (one of many version we can do) and then the board was V.E.S.sealed. No graphic touch-up was done, just the work on the wood of the board. 

You cant save the graphics without saving the wood under it.

I'm not saying the new repo copies are not cool.

I'm just saying boards with history are cooler.

We can make skateboards with history more valuable than any

copy made today.
