International models Coco Rocha, All Stephens and Hannah Holman are all a part of the brand lifestyle that Image Ride projects to its many happy clients. While there are many [hardcore longboarders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding) who would rather ride them, many others are mounting their decks on their bedroom walls as artwork. Image Ride is banking on this trend and has created a business focused on creating [custom engraved longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-yoga-deck) that can have any image you want on them.
