G&S SKATEBOARDS - "3 DOGS" CUSTOM SHAPED DECK (10.0")
Step into a flawless blend of functional skate history and premium modern performance with the Gordon & Smith "3 Dogs" Custom Shaped Deck. Sourced, crafted, and pressed by the master builders at BBS Manufacturing, this classic reissue features iconic, abstract cartoon artwork hand-drawn by the legendary pioneer of creative street and transition skating, Neil Blender. Rather than a flat historical replication, this version is pressed on a fully updated Modern Mold, providing contemporary concave contours so it rides as beautifully as it looks on a wall.
Measuring a massive 10.0" x 30.0" with a premium full-dipped paint finish, this deck is completely hand-screen printed the old-school way to retain its raw, vibrant ink textures and features precision-milled wheel wells for ultimate clearance.

Modern Mold Optimization & Functional Wheel Wells
Every line of this Neil Blender reissue is engineered to offer peak leverage, contemporary foot locking, and heavy transition control:
-
BBS Premium Modern Concave: Unlike the flat, non-existent concave profiles of the original 1980s pressings, this shape is pressed on a modern BBS mold. It incorporates a functional side-to-side concave and refined pocket transitions, giving you a locked-in foot feel for aggressive bowl carving, modern mini-ramp lines, or street cruising.
-
Precision Milled Wheel Wells: Milled grooves are precision-routed into the wood beneath the truck placements. This structural material removal provides crucial extra clearance, allowing you to run larger wheels or loose trucks with a vastly minimized risk of wheel bite.
-
The 10.0" Transitional Frame: Cut to an expansive 10.0" width, this shaped deck offers an incredibly stable and spacious platform. It delivers massive landing security and maximum foot leverage for high-speed tracking across pool coping, vertical ramps, and pump tracks.
-
Full-Dipped Paint & Hand-Screened Artistry: The entire 7-ply Canadian maple block is fully dipped in a rich, solid base coat before the graphic layer is applied. Neil Blender's timeless 3 Dogs artwork is then carefully laid down using traditional hand screen printing, yielding thick ink lines and a premium tactile finish that modern digital transfers cannot replicate.
