"Hi are you doing there I'm Simon Bingham this is No Comply skate shop in Austin, Texas. And I'm going to tell you how to put graphics on a skateboard. Well first you get your skateboard with say it already has graphics on it or if it's blank you can paint it down, get your background color on there. Throw some stencils on there that you've made or you can use some markers and mark it up or pretty much use any type of medium you want. Some will just last a lot longer then others. Or you can do online and the newest way that they put graphics on a skateboard is through a heat transfer and you can send the company your graphic that you've drawn up or have or picture you want and they can order you heat transfers and put them on the decks for you. But that of course costs a little bit more. Another way to do it is a screen printing setup which you can do with even a screen printer that does t-shirts and stuff you just have to get the right size fit for it. And that's basically how you put a graphic on a skateboard."
