Kex Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 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 http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=214535&postcount=59 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBrad Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'd go with the diamondback rattlesnake pattern. It would be most appropriate on a Coiler board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpel Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I played with this idea last year :) It's for a donek that I'll hopefully someday get to have ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotbeans Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'd like a coyote fur topsheet with a real tail pinned on the back... Maybe two fangs dropped off the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donek Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwalleur Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Kind of reminds me of the skis I'm on when riding with my son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
