This graphic was originally just a t-shirt. It was a graphic that the Braille audience chose by vote. We weren't sure how it would do as it was so different than anything we had done prior to that point. We released the shirts and they flew off the shelves. We started receiving photos of people with a broken arm or broken leg smiling from ear to ear while wearing their shirt. They felt represented.
All of the reimagined classic decks were made by Drew Cantu, a graphic artist that we found during the "Design our next T-Shirt Contest" we did in August of 2016.
I know what you're thinking. You want to thank me for this incredible historical experience. You are very welcome. I know, not all heroes wear capes.
What comes on our Graphic Completes?
Quality- our promise to you.
Braille has always been about helping people learn to skate. Whether you are just starting out, learning the basics, or you are a seasoned skater learning more advanced tricks, you don’t want a low-quality skateboard holding you back.
That’s why all our Graphic Completes come standard with a PS Stix deck, Jessup grip, and Mini Logo Components.
PS Stix Decks: Paul “The Professor” Schmitt, the founder of PS Stix, has been designing and producing skateboards for nearly four decades. His factory is the standard in premium skateboard manufacturing. Over the past 35 years, PS Stix has built over 19 million skateboard decks for some of the most well renowned companies in the industry. With a PS Stix deck you can be assured you are getting the same quality wood, the same meticulously designed shape and concave, that many of the world's top professional skateboarders are riding.
Mini Logo: Mini Logo uses the same high-quality materials and manufacturing process as their parent company Powell-Peralta, one of the oldest skateboard companies in the business with a reputation for making professional-grade skateboards and components.
Mini Logo Trucks feature straight precision 8mm axles to ensure your wheels are rolling true, ultra high rebound urethane bushings for smooth precise control, lightweight hollow base plates, and a lower riding height for a crisp pop. Mini Logo’s curved hangers feature their unique “Grind Lock” design to keep you locked-in to every grind. They are the preferred truck of Olympic skateboarder Andy Anderson. Need we say more?
Mini Logo Wheels come standard on all our Graphic Completes. We use 53mm size and 101A hardness which is the perfect combination for learning tricks. Mini Logo wheels combine long-lasting, high-rebound, pro-grade urethane made by the Skate One Corporation, a manufacturer with over 40 years of wheel pouring expertise.
Mini Logo Bearings are Skate Rated™, precision 608 bearings produced by the industry’s leading bearing manufacturer. They have removable rubber shields on both sides of the bearing for added durability, a high-speed molded ball retainer, and super-finished hardened chromium steel races and balls, and come pre-lubricated with Speed Cream™.
Want something different than what comes standard on our Graphic Completes? Go Custom!
For our customers who prefer to pick out each part of their skateboard individually, Braille offers a wide selection of some of the most popular brands of trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware, and grip. Just fill a cart with the skateboard parts of your choosing, and you can either put it together yourself, or leave us a message under “customer comments” during checkout letting us know that you would like us to assemble it for you (at no extra charge). All of our graphic decks come on PS Stix.
*Decks with a width of 8.25 will not be PS Stix unless specifically requested. Instead they will be made by Clutch which is a company we consider to be on par with PS Stix. Bamboo decks are not made by PS Stix.
