This is my new Burton Blunt 162 wide and I am stoked on the entire board and the graphics are sick. But I do appreciate a good sticker job on a snowboard and in the spirit of DIY I've decided to pass on the traditional huge die cut company stickers for the most part and come up with some of my own. I'm still going for the die cut look though, but with a less than capitalist message.
For the stickers I bought a roll of white vinyl sticker sheet. If you go to the store and ask someone, this would be the same stuff that shelves are lined with. Then all I did was cut out the letters to a positive lesson with my handy dandy x-acto knife and KABLAM! Positive board '09. I thought it would be fitting to make a sticker that warns kids of the dangers of drugs to offset the fact that I'm a school teacher riding a snowboard titled 'Blunt'.
I'm continuing the spirit of my last board where I spray painted the top sheet white and used colorful Sharpies to write positive messages all over the top sheet. But this way, I won't ruin the sick graphics. Also if you read my last blog post about my goal for this shred season, my board will carry on that goal even when I fall into the 'I'm cool, but I'm really just self conscious' trap. I'll update you on future stickers for the board, but in the meantime try your own mega limited edition die cut stickers!
