This one really took my attention, and I have created an ultimate Emo-Skate deck!!! :) this tutorial is so practical not just for snowboards but many design oriantated things... and I think if my EMO-Skate Deck was produced it would probably be priceless haha. Good work and a great theory to produce something for free for people to use. Fantastic work always looking at the work you create and the ideas you throw out there.

The shapes appear to be a collection of spiro paths and spiro is only available in the 0.46+devel builds, slated for 0.47. Check out my sneak-peek episode 067 for a quick introduction. I believe Andy Fitzsimon was the creator of that image and it appears like he is using a shape as a spiro brush. Out of respect I wouldn't want to duplicate his work. Why not contact Andy and ask him about it? http://andy.brisgeek.com @schrottplatz

I thought about adding bend glares where the board flips upward on both ends but that likely would have taken a few for minutes pushing the video to the 40 minute mark, which I don't care about but some would rather I get to the point quickly. @mauve

If you used an image fill you run the risk of breaking the pixel-alignment of the texture, which will make it look grotty. I would have put another duplicate board over the top, with a black/white/transparent gradient to simulate lighting and make the board look less flat.

One would not have to fiddle with clipping the texture. Woulda, coulda, shouda, I guess. :) @Particello

For this work, i think it would be quickier by transform the texture you've done in Gimp in a Pattern by the command Pattern->Object to Pattern..But..As you said..that's the flexibility of Inkscape! :) Thank you for sharing your work! Great Work, Heathenx!

If you are interested, I would love to share with you some simple but effective changes to your gimp setup. You mention that you use Gimp often and I think this will be helpful.

I flubbed up the section where I was using clip and the layer/multiply didn't work as expected. Thank God I'm not a professional otherwise I would have fixed that stuff. ;) @Galatea The system font that I use is called "rufscript". Add this to your apt source: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/andrewsomething/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/andrewsomething/ubuntu hardy main or deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/andrewsomething/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/andrewsomething/ubuntu intrepid main then: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install ttf-rufscript @Zombiebrainz and @Galatea

I just love your screencasts, there's always something new to learn, I didn't know about the bitmap vectorisation thing so thanks for that :) I have only one question which is a little bit out of subject : what's that scripted font your using ? I think it's maybe "hand of sean"; .. I'm kind of customising my Ubuntu and that font looks good. again merci beaucoup for sharing ;) ps: excuse my poor english. As always your doing a great job.
