Description:
A modern, full complete skateboard featuring a 7‑ply maple deck with a bright floral and hummingbird heat‑transfer graphic dominated by a large white Old English/Gothic “F” at center. Set up with raw-finish aluminum trucks, cream/yellow polyurethane wheels, and Phillips hardware. The big single letter and floral collage point toward Foundation Skateboards’ long-running ‘F’ motif; trucks appear to be Independent or similar but are not fully legible in the photo.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This is a modern, mass-market but collectible skate complete with an eye-catching floral/hummingbird graphic and a prominent single-letter logo likely associated with Foundation’s ‘F’ decks. Condition shows clear use (wheel discoloration and edge wear) but the graphic remains strong. As a used complete, its auction value is mainly driven by brand recognition and the trucks/wheels setup rather than by rarity. A word about fakes.. Counterfeit or re-wrapped decks do appear in this category; look for proper heat-transfer graphics (not vinyl wraps), correct concave, cleanly drilled mounting holes, and maker branding on top/underside or on the shrink if new. Without a visible brand stamp or top graphic, I remain cautious.

Condition:
Good (used: nose/tail scuffing, wheel discoloration, light graphic wear; not officially graded)
Identification Score: 90%
Very confident it is a modern complete skateboard with floral/hummingbird graphic and a large single-letter logo; brand attribution to Foundation is plausible but not certain due to lack of a clear maker’s mark in the photo.
Authenticity Score: 45%
The setup appears consistent with a genuine, used skateboard, and the trucks look like real aluminum cast units; however, the deck brand is not confirmed (no visible top-stamp or shrink wrap), the letter logo could be from several brands, and graphics can be reproduced. Caution warranted until brand marks are verified.
Image Memory Note
Colorful complete skateboard photographed deck-up on a gray carpet. Deck shows bright turquoise ground with large red/yellow flowers (sunflower/gerbera-like) and two realistic hummingbirds (one near the tail, one near the nose). Over the center lies a large white Old English/Gothic letter resembling an ‘F’. Raw aluminum trucks front and rear; each uses a standard 4-bolt baseplate. Wheels are cream/yellow with visible grime; bearings not legible. Edges of deck show scuffing and abrasion at nose and tail; tail has more chipping along the bottom edge. The front truck hanger appears to have cursive text that looks like ‘Independent’ but is not fully clear; no other stickers or top-stamps are visible in this photo (top of deck not shown). Background includes a black boot tip in lower left; no packaging or documentation present.
