Mason Silva, Grant Taylor and Mike Anderson for DBX Deck Construction.
The new DBX decks were designed for an ultra-responsive, light, and quick feel with lasting consistency throughout the lifetime of the board. They are lighter, thinner, and stronger than traditional 7-ply decks.
Unlike typical composite decks focused solely on strength, DBX decks are designed not only for strength but also with an emphasis on response, feel, pop, and overall lasting performance over the life of your board.
Constructed using 3 layers of interwoven basalt with 4 standard-thickness interior veneers, and 2 thinner face veneers. Hand-laid up and precision-pressed in single molds to meet exact specs.
WHAT IS BASALT – AND WHY USE IT ON A SKATEBOARD DECK?
Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock formed by rapidly cooling molten lava, known for its multidimensional strength properties. The 3 basalt layers improve the deck’s structural integrity and stiffness while giving the maple veneers a ‘backbone’ that maximizes the wood’s natural resonance.
DBX decks are available now at your favorite local Skateshop.
“AMIGOS” THE FORTIES VIDEO
Forties Original was a clothing brand out of Deluxe spearheaded by Mr. Cornhole (aka TG) in the early/ mid 90’s. Basic attire, skate inspired goods for the everyday.
The garments were cut and sewn in SF and Oakland – when you could still buy a burrito for under $5.
I hand delivered all the bolts of fabric and parts (zippers/buttons/rivets, etc.) in our old Astro van that smelled like teen spirit after a heavy session and 6 too many. Ahh the good ol’ daze.

Atlas at The Office – Deluxe Distribution
The Atlas crew, headed up by Ryen and Mike, have built a community around their shop for over a decade. They are the benchmark for how much a shop can do for their local scene and others. They recently logged a few hours at The Office for some casual ripping and good times. Thank you Mike, Ryen and the whole Atlas crew for all you do.
