Quick answer
Decide first whether your Kidrobot Bomb Skateboard Deck will be ridden or kept as a collectible, then mount it with a proper skateboard deck wall mount or store it flat and dry. Either way, keep it out of direct sun and handle it by the edges so the graphic and numbering stay clean.
Ride it or preserve it: choose before you mount
The Bomb deck is a limited edition of 300 pieces worldwide, and each board is numbered. That changes the care math: a ridden deck picks up grip-tape residue, truck rash, and edge chips that are hard to undo, while a displayed deck keeps its graphic and numbering intact. Neither choice is wrong, but committing early prevents you from drilling a mount hole and then deciding to skate it.
If you plan to ride, set the deck up with grip tape and trucks and accept that the numbered graphic will wear. If you plan to display, leave it un-gripped and unfitted so the top graphic and numbering stay visible and resale-friendly.
Why wood decks need different care than plush or vinyl
Skateboard decks are layered wood, so they react to moisture and heat differently than vinyl figures or plush. Long exposure to direct sun can fade printed graphics, and damp storage can warp or delaminate the plies. A dry interior wall away from radiators, windows, and humid basements is safer than a garage or shed.
Dust is the other quiet enemy. A displayed deck collects it on the graphic and in the mounting hardware, so a quick routine clean beats a deep scrub later.
When a wall mount is the wrong call
A wall mount is ideal for a deck you want to see every day, but it is a poor fit for a deck you plan to skate or store long-term. Mounting hardware can leave marks, and a deck displayed in a high-traffic hallway is more likely to be knocked. If you rent, avoid drilling into walls and use a display shelf or a flat storage slot instead.
Step-by-step: display and store your Bomb deck
- Pick your display spot: Choose an interior wall out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, then check that the wall can hold the deck's weight. Common mistake: hanging it above a radiator or in a sunny window, which can fade the graphic over time. Test the spot for sun and heat for a day before drilling.
- Mount it with a proper skateboard deck wall mount: Use a mount designed for skateboard decks rather than nails or tape, and follow the mount's instructions for spacing. Checkpoint: the deck should sit flush without pressure on the graphic. Confirm the mount holds the deck by the edges, not the printed face.
- Handle by the edges only: When lifting or re-hanging the deck, grip the rails rather than the printed face. Common mistake: grabbing the deck with dusty or oily hands, which can leave marks on the graphic. Wash and dry your hands before any handling.
- Dust weekly with a dry microfiber cloth: Wipe the graphic and mounting hardware with a dry microfiber cloth, working gently from the center outward. Avoid wet sprays or abrasive cleaners on the printed surface. Skip household cleaners; dry dusting is enough for routine care.
- Store a spare or off-display deck flat and dry: If the deck is not mounted, store it flat in a dry room, ideally in a breathable sleeve or between two flat boards to prevent warping. Common mistake: standing it on end in a damp basement or garage. Keep stored decks off concrete floors and away from exterior walls.
- Record the edition number and condition: Photograph the numbered graphic and note any existing marks when you first get the deck. This gives you a baseline for spotting new wear and helps if you later trade or sell. Store the photo with your purchase records for future reference.
