Best coffin shaped skateboard… EVER!!!
May 30th, 2008 by Kilwag
I’m not one for the unprovoked posting of a bunch of product releases as ‘news’ but the Riprider from Creature has got to be the coolest thing I’ve seen in forever and a day. It’s so simple, obvious… and beautiful. I’m gushing. Hey N.H.S., hook a brother up! Oh wait, I just blew my bargaining chips…
Say what you want, I don’t care. I hope this is real and not just a gag. (Hold on, were these plastic skateboards made in china? I hope so, for the sake of authenticity! ) Click to enlarge.

An instant classic. Buy it now, sell it for more on ebay!

Actually, the only thing they got wrong - it should not have grip tape.

That is bad ass…

i think you meant to type “it better” rather that “it should” there.

what an awesome plastic piece of shit! i want one! id put money that this must be the subject of a heated debate over on skull & bones

Davoud, exactly when did the laughter die for you?
This is an awesome plastic piece of shit. I htink htat’s the point. How awesome remains to be seen, and will be inversely proportional to the amount they charge for it.

Davoud has some strange bug up his ass about Concrete Wave and Skull&Bones. Live and let live my friend.
Apparently the Riprider is going to cost around $150, which is pretty much going to kill anybody actually buying one. Bad, bad idea. At $65 they’d sell a ton of them. At $150? No.
And are Skull Skates going to ban NHS employees from their stores now?

randy i was being serious, it IS awesome. i think my main complaint is that it looks like the coffin is made out of cardboard instead of wood.

$150????? That blows it.
June 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 am
It seems that every skate distribution house has to offer its own “Zip Zinger” type of complete these days. But $150 for a plastic model? C’mon!
June 3rd, 2008 at 9:41 am
$150! Whoa! I would have gotten one for the novelty/packaging/foot-rest but that’s a lot of beans!

The second to last line on the promo should replace “deadly pace” with “deadly price“
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:35 pm
actually it’s $125. You can order ‘em from calskates. Still, $125. That’s about $50 too much.

there’s another company out there that makes some spectacular coffin shaped decks out of wood, and they even screen print the graphics on them!
The name of that company escapes me… but I do know they’re from the NW.

As houseofneil said, over at Cal’s we’ve got them up for preorder. They have been seriously popular in the last few weeks!
We’ve got them for $124.95, which as far as we know is the cheapest on the net: http://www.calsk8.com/skateshop/creature-riprider-complete-p-2344.html

for over a hundred bucks, you’d think it would come with indy’s…

Man those decks are awsome but expensive I mean $125 or $150 that’s a rip off.They should be like $50 or $60.
