Destructive Productions is Destructive13 or Brian Thrasher.









We all know him as the guy making these handcrafted fibreglass boards that harken back to the days of Jay Adams.








The boards are $99.

A lot of interest/positive comments on them all around but not too too many sales just yet. It has been mentioned by more than a few that the $99 pricetag is a bit of a monetary leap to take on something not too many people have ridden.


I was the lucky one who named the deck and got a free one - I would have purchased one regardless but I got super lucky. I have been riding it nightly on my 3rd shift lunchbreak through parking garages downtown and it it so fucking fun to ride!


I approached Brian with this Test Pilot program and he, being super busy with so many things in life, allowed me to take the reigns and roll with it - here is my idea.





Brian will offer up a cherry red sparkle complete......a COMPLETE? hell yes a complete.



A list of interested riders / potential buyers will be started and posted. Once the level cap is met all parties will PM me all their vital info

( name/address/phone)



The first guy on the list is the first to get it so if you want to test it sign up. You will ride it for 1 week and mail it along to the next guy - shipping costs are on you.

Being a complete the components may not be what you would normally ride, but not everyone will have trucks to fit this or wheels for that matter. Brian felt it was very important to send around a complete so those who don't have certain components can still ride one of these!

Set it up and take it apart as you wish when you receive it. Use your own gear that you are comfortable to ride so you get a true feeling for the deck, but when mailing it back out make sure it has the components it originally started with.


Once the final rider has taken his week long ride he will mail it back to Brian.








This test pilot program is designed to give the curious potential buyer a "free ride" so to speak, to get their feet on it before dropping the $99

( worth it )

on a deck from Brian.











Please sign up if you have a want to purchase but arent 100% sure - testing this for a week will stoke you to buy one. Brian can make any color and is noy doing fabric pattern inlays - the visual looks are limitless....but the feel and shape of the deck, you'll see - 100% DIY till he dies, Brian did a helluva job.



Participants are encouraged to fill this thread with any and all feedback as well as pics/video of them riding this around for their 1 week run they get.


List starts below - please copy entire list adding your name in the appropriate spot. Program starts in 2 weeks or when list is full. As you sign up please pm me your name/address/phone number for record keeping.


GO !

Thanks to Brandon for getting this rolling for me.
I have wanted to do something like this for awhile now but I get busy with too many things.

I am working on building a board up as a complete right now. Thanks to my secret santa I have some nice bearings to put in there.

Also will be putting some of Shitbirds new Cruizer wheels on this as well so you guys can check them out.

I have roughly 2 hours a night after my kids go to bed and about 45min on my breaks at work to work on all things Destructive.

I think 2011 is going to bring some cool stuff though!

Thanks
Brian
