new topsheet design?

[Kex]

After going to my local board shop, I was completely unimpressed by today's crappy topsheet designs, and I've been trying to think of something better. The last topsheet design I saw that I really enjoyed was the "rust bucket" by JK seen here

I wanted something that would go alone with the whole idea of carving. I was thinking about the way carvers progress down the hill, and what would be similar to that when it dawned on me, why not do a snakeskin pattern, complete with the scales? The serpentine-like back and fourth movement combined with the thin deep trenches remind me of some kind of trail a snake would leave. Here are some skins that I thought would look good on a board, what do you guys think?

disclaimer: this is meant i no way to offend people who design their own topsheets. I've been impressed by many custom topsheets, its mainly the mass-produced topsheets that I am annoyed with

I'd go with the diamondback rattlesnake pattern. It would be most appropriate on a Coiler board.

I played with this idea last year :) It's for a donek that I'll hopefully someday get to have ;)

I'd like a coyote fur topsheet with a real tail pinned on the back... Maybe two fangs dropped off the tip.

Here are a couple mating bullsnakes I shot about 2 years ago.

I have some others on my hard drive. Take a look at istock.com. You should be able to find some interesting images as well as vector artwork that you might use.

Kind of reminds me of the skis I'm on when riding with my son
