Chances are you haven’t heard of Binary Skateboards yet. They’re based in Utah, they’re only a year old, and they don’t have website yet, because Brock is too busy and won’t get back to me so that I can design it. But all in good time, and then I can actually link this post to their stuff.
Sean over at Binary gave me one of their new decks on Saturday, so I promptly set it up and took it for a ride.
Bad things first. The nose looks a little square to me. However, when I rode it I didn’t feel like it was square at all. It just looks a little square, but it’s so slight it might wear a little and look better to me. But it felt just fine.
Now good things.
1. I took it down a long rail 30 times and it didn’t break, which I was impressed with, because I’m a 230 lb, 6-foot guy and it’s easier for me to break a board than it is for Russell Crowe to get in a barfight.
2. It felt good on my feet. Good shape, good concave, good pop, it was all good. But I’m still just thrilled that I can take it down a rail and not snap it.
3. Binary is pushing the pixel-computer-design thing, so my board has graphics from the classic video game Dig-Dug on it, and frankly I like the colors.
I’d post a photo but I need to get a new digital camera or something.
Anyway, I’m usually skeptical of newer skateboard companies that don’t have any big pros yet, especially companies from Utah, but I have to say I’m happy with the deck, and not just because it was free. Trust me, if the board had broken I wouldn’t be writing a review about it. Thanks to Sean and Brock for the deck.

230lb guy ridin on a rail wait,along rail 30 times.Ive never heard a sk8ter talk like that.I have serious doubts youve ever jumped on any rail,My guess is your not really much of A skater at all,or you work for this company.mabey the boards work I might even order myself A deck.but this whole thing smells really stinky.oh I know my spelling sucks so dont worry about that .Just keep riding those long rails bro.
Yo, I just ordered a deck. The graphic is mad cool and it’s the right size and everything but I’m just a bit iffy on concave and pressure cracks. I’m also like 6’1″ but I’m only like 170lbs. I’ve ridden alot of boards that snap when I take them down any stairs over 4 and any moderate size gaps a bunch of times. Sponsor me bro!
been skating fer a while im ~6 foot and weigh 140 pounds and i havent ridden one but i havent seen anything but good reviews. ima order one soon.
