Ok, so last weekend (3rd + 4th) I began to 'restore' an old board I had for Panther cause she started to skate =/ XD

Anyway, mission: complete within a week before she gets back.

so here are the pics, Basically I had to cut it down slightly, sand the whole thing, paint it, varnish it and put on grip-tape, trucks and wheels.

lol, thanks for the comments so far guys, keep em coming the rest of you, and to be honest it wasnt that hard: all you really have to do is sand the underneath of it down so the paint will apply, you dont want any previos patterns or varnish on it, the just draw on the design and use masking tape to tape it off and spray :D

Although I did have to touch it up round the edges afterwards cause it was a bit messy, and the grip-tape, wheels and bearings (little metal things that make it spin but I'm sure most of you already knew that ><) were all brand new so its cool. When we went to buy the wheels I wanted the luminous green ones but Pho persuaded me that we should go for the black and white.

Another prob I had was trying to buy the spray paint, you have to be like 18 and I'm 15 XD But the people in the shop were nice to me and I don't think me and Pho really looked like we were going to go and spray some walls in a tunnel or get high off it (tho when using it I tried...I love the stuff) and also we had our bike helmets junkies+helmets- somehow I think not ;)

So yea Grimm, its really not that difficult, I mean, the designs scratch off anyway so you don't even have to put one on, and then all you need is some new wheels, bearings and possibly trucks. :D
