Whether you're just starting to figure out how to ollie or can do double kickflips in your sleep, one of the joys of skateboarding is the amount of personality you can infuse into the sport. Every scuff, sticker and ketchup stain on a skateboard matters.
At Boardpusher.com, novices and professional graphic designers alike can create and order a skateboard as unique as the lovely scars incurred due to a missed trick.
When ordering a board through the site, you can choose to upload a customized photo that adheres to the required dimensions; or you can use the site tools to create a simpler look, if Photoshop isn't your cup of tea. Boardpusher.com then uses full-color digital heat transfer to put your hi-res design onto a standard Canadian maple deck in the size and shape of your choice.
Although there's no half-pipe here at the PC Magazine offices, we at Gearlog felt a personalized skateboard would be the perfect compliment to all the technological gadgets we encounter on a daily basis. Enlisting the help of talented graphic designer Gabriella Murphy, we set out to create a skateboard at Boardpusher.com, and ended up with the perfect device with which to incite more workplace accidents than even our beloved Wii could muster.

Designing, uploading, and ordering your deck is simple and fast. Each personalized deck costs $49.99 and comes with a roll of grip tape. Boardpusher.com doesn't stop here; it also lets users create online shops where they can sell their creations and spread the creative love. Buy the custom decks for $44.99, and you can then mark them up and sell them for a profit to fans of your work.
