The Gnar Deal

View Where are GnarDeal shirts going? in a larger map

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

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 Location: Bozeman, MT
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!

Printed on a Jerzees 50/50 really really bright green shirt. (Your computer screen probably doesn’t convey the brightness)

I hate to break it to you, but those bearings you just bought probably aren’t going to make you go faster. The ceramics you just paid $100 aren’t going to kill the guy on some $20 regular old bearings. You see….it’s not bearings, it’s your tuck thats the problem.

ORDERS CLOSED.
Only available for order until Sunday 2/21/10 at midnight!

Tricks are for kids, Skate hills
Available until Sunday 2/14/10 at midnight
Printed on a 100% cotton shirt.

Here’s my newest design. Inspired by Jenn Bell’s facebook page “Tricks are for Kids – Ride Longboards” Sounded like it’d make a sweet shirt so I asked Jenn if it’s cool she said yes, as long as she gets some credit.

I tweaked it a little and here you have it. It looks like your new favorite cereal, and you’ve already poured yourself a bowl. Your breakfast might even taste better in the mornings before your big skate, when you’re wearing this shirt, but we won’t make any guarantees about that.

Update: Shirt no longer available as of 2/14/10

Disclaimer: Just to be clear, GnarDeal isn’t supporting drug use. Actually we feel quite the opposite. Instead of being addicted to illegal, legal, or otherwise harmful substances, get addicted to bombing hills, throwing standups, etc… We feel its much safer and productive. If you or someone you know is harshly offended by this design, please shoot me an email at thegnardeal@gmail.com

Here’s my latest design. It’ll be printed on a 100% cotton, natural colored shirt. So basically an off white. This thing will be available until Sunday at midnight. Get it fast or don’t get it at all.

Update: Shirt no longer available as of 2/8/10
