sorry if i sound stupid or anything but how many bottom graphics or boards does omen have? ive been looking around at pictures and stuff, and ive seen about 4-6, but maybe some of those are past proto-types or past boards since they started in 2004, sorry i dont know much about omen skates, im still kinda new to the wakeskate world. On their website they only have the revolt 40.5 but its just the top shot, and under pics theirs a few different boards being used. but yea i dont mean to sound stupid but if someone could help me out on this, like post pics of all these boards im seeing or what, or just inform me. thanks guys.

ya man there are alot of them. all are the revolt 40.5 tho...some the old shape and some the new. just shows how long theyve been riding these boards so that they are PERFECT when they are distributed to the public.

Yes we have had 5 graphics for our prototypes and team boards.
All are cool in their own way and some might make it into production short runs.
But here is the 06 Revolt graphics, it is a combination of several ideas.
The wood you see is the actual wood from the board the rest is silk screened into the Durasurf bottom. Remember things change quickly so do not be surprised if you see maybe two or three graphics in a single season, kinda keeping it fresh.

not a big fan of the suicide graphic. very controversial. not very cool in my books (its a personal thing). i hope the others graphics are better and not so emo.

jerrysk8 does your brain think that simply that you think that is a suicide graphic?

jerrysk8 · Posted: Jun 16, 2006 7:14 pm Post subject:

yeah probably. theres a noose and a dude looking at his watch. i put 2 and 2 together and thats what i thought.

and now i feel like i have to explain myself a little more to you. a very very close friend of mine hung himself in a tree. so seeing that graphic is fvcked up to me (and me alone).

the fact that there's a noose in a tree implicates that someone is about to get hung and nothing else. any graphics to do with death are just wrong.

maybe im reading into this way too much. this is MY 2c.

i don't want to start a debate so i'll leave with this. when can we get some omen wakeskates in australia???

what i get from the graphic is that this is the coming of the death of the big business guys. Such as hyperlite. I could be completely wrong but thats what i get out of it.

kyle41, thats pretty much the jist of it ^^ but I can see how for some people it could be shocking or seem wrong... But like kyle41 you gotta see the message behind the graphic and the name Omen Afro

jerrysk8, Sorry to hear about your friend bro, I have lost a few friends to suicide. BUT

Nekkie, Pretty much got it right, the name of the deck is the revolt... Here is the definition.

re·volt

To attempt to overthrow the authority of the state; rebel.
To oppose or refuse to accept something: revolting against high taxes.
To feel disgust or repugnance: to revolt at a public display of cruelty.
To turn away in revulsion or abhorrence: They revolted from the sight.

To fill with disgust or abhorrence; repel. See Synonyms at disgust.

An uprising, especially against state authority; a rebellion.
An act of protest or rejection.
The state of a person or persons in rebellion: students in revolt over administrative policies.

It's a revolt against big business and bulljive products, a slap in the face per-say... Their time is coming, it's up to them wether or not they step up and compete with the people who's main motivation is NOT the all mighty dollar and actually spend money to mfg quality products. This is the revolt against all other wood boards.

Don't get me wrong I want Omen to make money so it can support itself one day and the team... But I'm not in this for the money I'm here building this stuff cause I love to wakeskate first and foremost.

Again... Sorry about your friend Sad

Oh, and you will NEVER see anything emo from Omen... I HATE emo!
