As should be expected, Big Mike’s family got a proper stack of the limited edition Big Mike Memorial boards… the aim was to make sure that everyone in the family got a deck or two, because the loss of Mike hit them harder than anyone.

Just to show you how f’ing awesome the whole BM crew is, they dropped off a completely customized version of the limited edition board, as a complete, and damn did they go off!

Custom painted riser pads (painted white) and two-tone custom painted trucks… the front hangar has a blue finish, but what you can’t see is that they painted the underside of the hangar red:

Then they did the opposite with the back truck (inverting the colors… note the blue trim inside the truck):

They didn’t stop there, either… they added red and blue seals to some stock Bones bearings, and wrapped them inside some Bulldog wheels, red and Blue respectively:

As if that weren’t enough, they did the most amazing griptape job I’ve ever seen in my life, not only cutting around the top graphic, but topping it and trimming it in both red and blue to match the deck:

Here’s Josh holding it to give you a sense of scale:

And last, here’s a ginormous pic of the underbelly of what may very be the most amazing effort I’ve ever seen:

Mike’s twin brother Tony wanted to give this to Kerry for skating, but there’s no way! Everyone in the crew (including Mike’s son Erik) lent a hand in putting this together, and you really need to see it to believe it. It’ll be on display at the shop for some time to come… I still can’t get over it.

The Jeansonne family is seriously what it’s all about. We love you guys and gals, and all of us that witnessed this board were awestruck with how amazing it is.

All of you kick serious ass, all the way down to the marrow in your bones. It really is beautiful.
