Ready to use your graphic in-game? There’s two ways to do this.

From Gallery

Graphics you create are automatically set to be shareable which will allow others in the skate community to use your graphic in-game if they choose. If you would prefer to keep your graphic exclusive for your use then uncheck the “share” box on the “Properties” tab within the Graphics Creator tool.
To send your friend this graphic, either cut and paste the unique url provided or click the “Share” button under the graphic in the gallery. That will send your friend an email with a link to the graphic. Have them to click the “Send to Game” link on the details section of the gallery.
