Always wear protection
by Noah @ GnarDeal on Apr.27, 2010, under Shirt for the Week

Always wear protection…
Here at gnardeal I figured it’d be nice to make a shirt to promote safe….skating. Wear protection and you’ll be able to have just as much fun the next time. Don’t risk it. Design printed in black ink on a bright green shirt.
Shirt will be available until Sunday May 2nd at midnight.
A quick note about the prices of our shirts. As most of you know I’m currently a broke college student, being a downhill skateboarder that makes me an extra broke college student. Pricing has been an interesting experiment for me. By using cheaper shirts I can sell them cheaper, but also the product isn’t as nice, a more expensive shirt means that you pay more, but you get what you pay for. This is why pricing has varied so much lately and has slowly increased. $17 is the current price for the internet, in person they will sell for $20 and I am planning to stick with this for the foreseeable future. It’s slightly more than before but I invested in having these shirts pre stocked. This means that shipping times should decrease drastically, no more week or two ship times. We are currently shooting for 3 day ship times.

Save Your Sole, Do a Standup!
That’s right we all know footbraking kills your shoe soles and isn’t nearly as gnarly as standups or predrifts. Show your sole some loving, grab this shirt and do your part to stop the abuse of shoes around the downhill world, haha.
This shirt will be up for sale until Sunday, April 25th at midnight.

Topmounts

Yup that’s right this week we’re showing all the topmounts a little love, because after all, some things just ride better on top. Although dropdecks have been popular for a while but topmounts are making a comeback. Show them some love, and sport a topmount shirt.
Get Loose!
by Noah @ GnarDeal on Mar.09, 2010, under Shirt for the Week
No, you shouldn’t just tighten your trucks each time you hit a bigger hill. GET LOOSE! Keep your trucks loose and stay confident and you won’t get wobbles, keeping your trucks loose will also allow you to do other things such as avoid trucks, cars, cats, and other various things you may unexpectedly encounter as you bomb down mountain roads.

Get your Predrift on!
by Noah @ GnarDeal on Feb.23, 2010, under Older shirts, Shirt for the Week

Here at GnarDeal we think you should get your predrift on. It’s much more stylish than footbraking, just like this shirt is sicker than the tee’s your friends buy at your cookie cutter skate shop in the mall.
We are currently trying out some newer/nicer shirts, and also playing with our prices a little. This weeks shirt is printed on a 100% ringspun cotton shirt. That means its nice and soft. Bright green ink on a dark black shirt.
Shirt no longer available as of Sunday February 28th at midnight

Blast from the past!!!
by Noah @ GnarDeal on Feb.20, 2010, under Older shirts, Shirt for the Week
Due to high demand, whiney cries, threats of death, blackmail, and a few nice requests by email (some of those may have been slight exaggerations) I’ve decided to bring back the My Life Is Going Downhill Shirt! It’s just like last time, printed on a Gildan Ultra Blend 50/50 bright blue shirt. Yellow design. It’s going available until Wednesday the 24th at midnight. Order now! The blank shirts will be ordered Thursday, and printed when they arrive. Then shipped out to you.
International Shipping to Canada, Australia, Philipines, and Spain should now be automatically calculated, if it doesn’t work or you live somewhere else. Email me at thegnardeal@gmail.com

Team GnarDeal is a growing assortment of riders that are helping to spread the word about GnarDeal through sick riding, and just generally being pretty cool people. On this page you will find a list of all current team riders, a little bio, maybe a video and some photos. If you’re interested in joining the team then just email thegnardeal@gmail.com To be honest currently we aren’t looking for many more riders, but as the company grows we’d love to bring more people along for the ride.

Hi, I’m Noah, the guy that started gnardeal, currently also the only one at Gnardeal. I’m the designer, printer, customer service, and everything else. I was originally from Tri-Cities, WA. That’s in the south east or “bottom right” corner of the state. I used to be all about snowboarding, and started getting into other boardsports such as wakeboarding, wakesurfing and finally longboarding. At first they just filled the off season, but now longboarding took over. I live in Bozeman, MT now and the scene is a lot smaller here, but it’s slowly growing. Here’s a video from back in WA. I’m wearing the white charly helmet.

Hey, my name’s Shane, and I just started longboarding last summer, but I’ve been riding everyday since I added the first battle scar to my body. I literally love every aspect of this sport. Dancing, freestyle, freeride, downhill, even hard wheel sliding recently. I skate almost every day no matter the weather, it’s an addiction. I love teaching people about the sport, skating past midnight, getting kicked out of parking garages, crashing, and waking up on days where my knees don’t hurt and the roads are dry. I’ve known TheGnarDeal since the first few shirts, and can’t wait to spread the stoke about it even more!

Mike is a great rider. He kills it with freestyle and last summer he picked up some leathers and a speedboard. He’s getting into downhill fast, and my main skate buddy here in Bozeman. He takes time to film and edit good videos. Here’s a older video while he puts together his new one:

Hello there. Im Steven, and I have been longboarding for about 3 years. I originally started with dancing and freestyle, but then got into downhill and now I’m hooked. I ride everyday, and love how free longboarding makes you feel. I love going downhill fast and shredding huge hills with my buddies. I love progressing the sport, and trying new things, and most of all having fun. I am stoked to be part of The Gnar Deal Team!
