Custom Skateboards

The Imagery Of Gary Lyn Dansereau II can create a Skateboard that is uniquely yours. I take your favorite image of your Fur Baby, significate other, or what have you and turn it into a one-of-a-kind deck that will ride, slide, and wear just like you’d expect. For clients that live in the Portland Oregon area we also provide custom photography of your subject for an additional cost. I can create image specific illustrations, photo realistic layouts or just create a new design specifically to meet your personal style and design requirements. The Custom Board is constructed of 7-ply Canadian maple with a choice of deck widths at 7.75 / 7.88 / 8.00 / 8.125 / 8.25 / 8.375 and 8.50.  

Silverton Skatepark

Silverton Skatepark in Silverton OR ( W Main St, Silverton, OR 97381 ) is a cool spot. The park is about an hour and half south of Portland Or. Built by Dreamland this 8,500 sq. ft. park is super smooth with really nice concrete. (Dreamland does great surface in my experience) The park consists of a street section that has two stair gaps, one with a handrail, one with a ledge, and a ledge drop flanked by two inclined transitions that lead down the beautiful bowl section. This section consists of two bowls that are spined with a wall ride that is coped across the two bowls. They range in heights, but they average 4.5ft to about 8ft or 9ft and the wall ride spine. The copping is great and easy to lock onto and slides great, the concrete is super smooth and fast. There are a lot of fun lines between both the bowls here, so this spot is definitely worth the drive.

Rolling Freedom Skatepark

Rolling Freedom skatepark is located in Woodland Washington (785 Lakeshore Dr, Woodland, WA 98674 ) about 30mins north of Portland. The park has a decent sized bowl that at its smallest is about 6ft tall that goes up to about 9ft or 10ft with some oververt. There is also a street section with some ledges, fun boxes, a 6-stair gap, and some other random obstacles. The concrete and copping are in fairly good shape, but the concrete is a little rough so some softer wheels may work better than my 84b’s. The Bowl was my favorite thing here, but I am more of a transition skater, so I am a bit biased. The main thing that sucks about this spot is it directly next to the I5 so the noise from the traffic was a bit much but if  you’re  in the area its worth a stop.
