Black Sheep Artist Series: Reid “Switch” Bramhall

We are proud to introduce the latest installment in our Artist Series Collaboration Skate Decks, the Switch x Black Sheep “Robots” Deck.

The art for the Limited Edition “Robots” Black Sheep Deck was created by Reid “Switch” Bramhall. Reid is a long time friend of the shop, and he has contributed to many of our previous group art shows and fund raisers. He is a humble guy that has always supported Black Sheep and local area business, and is active in the local art community.

His signature style of funny and mischievous characters and bold, bright colors is reminiscent of classic graphics of the late 80’s and early 90’s era of skate art. We were especially excited to work with Reid on this project because it is unlike any of our previous collaboration decks.

“My art focuses on the playfulness of happy little characters, creatures and monsters. I paint to bring out the kid in all of us and the funny, playful side we all have within ourselves. I Hope you enjoy my artwork and characters as much as I enjoy creating them. Thanks again to Black Sheep for giving me the opportunity. Till next time.”– Reid “Switch” Bramhall

Black Sheep x Almost Skateboards Deck

Black Sheep is proud to announce our latest professional collaboration with Dwindle Distribution and Almost Skateboards. The Black Sheep x Almost Skateboard deck features a custom Almost Skateboards inspired Black Sheep logo in our hometown, original “Charlotte Hornets” colorway of white, teal and purple. Each deck is constructed of 100% Canadian hardrock maple using Resin 7 epoxy construction and includes 90 day limited warranty (see information below).

This limited edition release is now available at Black Sheep in sizes 8.0 and 8.25 while supplies last. Support the home team and grab yours today before this limited release is history!

Each Black Sheep x Almost Skateboard includes 90 day warranty against manufacturer defects and overall craftsmanship (for more information visit Dwindle.com - does not cover normal wear and tear from use). Resin 7 construction is lighter and stronger than the standard 7-ply. Epoxy is more aggressive than the normal water-based glue, which is the industry standard. Since epoxy is so strong, less of it is used yielding a considerably lighter, better deck that is stiffer and keeps its pop longer than normal water based decks.
