Friday T&A on S&A: Plastic

How do you dress up and old idea? With half dressed girls of course. Globe’s Bantam Cruisers are pretty much the same thing that Penny has to offer (more on that later) so I guess that monopoly is over. Fortunately, what Globe lacks in original product ideas they were able to make up for in the well executed tribute to the 80′s visual style, albeit with a 70′s style plastic skateboard. Is it sexist? Sure, but is it fun? Yes. Great choice of Tones on Tail for the soundtrack too. The only thing missing are the Swatches. Wait, is someone going to hassle me for not knowing the correct plural form of Swatch? (Lego, legos LEGOS!) Pink Motel commercial footage after the jump. UPDATE: I just saw one of these in a skateshop. They did actually improve on the construction of the plastic skateboard. It’s dense, hard and stiff. Really sturdy actually.

    WOW! You really outdid yourself this friday,Kilwag. Thanks!

    You can’t blame Globe for blatantly spotting and copying a trend. The boards sell well,apparently. I notice Globe added two convenient inches to their board and Penny already topped that with the (large!) 27″ Nickel model.
    A few days ago,I passed on a Flexdex board on ebay that was 17″ long. Shortest I’ve ever seen.
    Get back to me when Penny makes a ‘dollar’ longboard at a decent price…
