Balenciaga skate punk model Burberry Erry is calling on skaters to send in their sponsor me tapes for a chance to join Playboi Carti’s new skate brand YVL Skateboards.
The brand, which also goes by the name Go to Hell Boards, has a dark, all black aesthetic that blends punk and satanic influences.
It fits perfectly with Erry’s own style and the edgy image he has cultivated as the creative director for Carti’s Opium brand.
Carti’s personal style also ties directly into the brand.
With a satan tattoo on the back of his neck, Carti has long embraced symbols and visuals that challenge the mainstream.
YVL Skateboards reflects that same rebellious attitude, giving skaters a way to express themselves through designs and graphics that are unapologetically bold and extreme.
While some haters have labeled the brand as evil, it is actually building a following among skaters who are drawn to its unique look and attitude.
The appeal is especially strong for those familiar with underground skate culture. Thrasher’s 666, Skategoat, and other crews have experimented with similar satanic imagery such as the pentagram, and YVL Skateboards now provides a fresh outlet for skaters to explore that aesthetic.
The brand also represents more than just visual style. It is cultivating a community that rewards creativity and individuality.
Skaters who submit their sponsor me tapes are not just applying for a spot on a team, they are contributing to a movement that merges music, fashion, and skateboarding into a single statement.
It is an invitation for skaters to show their personality, skill, and commitment to something outside of the mainstream.
For anyone who thinks they have what it takes to ride for YVL, the process is simple. Send your sponsor me tape to Burberry Erry’s DMs and see if you can join a crew that is redefining what a skate team can look like.
With the combination of Carti’s influence, Erry’s direction, and the brand’s striking visuals, YVL Skateboards is quickly becoming a conversation piece in skate culture, attracting skaters who want to stand out and make a name for themselves.
