For fans only
So there’s a DIY article about making a ceiling fan out of skateboards. Nothing really to it besides, you know, drilling holes in skateboards and replacing existing blades. Seems like it would be awfully heavy. It’s not a new concept actually. There have been commercially available skateboard fans for a few years. So long that The X Board ceiling fan from Hunter Fans has already been discontinued. You can still get their model with mini surfboard shaped blades. You can also get a Radical Fan from a company that apparently decorates fan blades and resells them.
- Thanks to Charles Glover for the tip.
The discontinued Hunter X-Board.
Note to market research: Parent are unlikely to buy home appliances decorated with fake blood.
And now the Radical fan. This is not an officially licensed product. Licensed products were used as decorations.

Do you think this could be pulled off with a pile of old used decks? Would they be out of balance with weight and size and f up the fan motor?
This is funny, because I like to make decks out of old ceiling fan blades.
I’ll give them a lil’ bit of props (<—see, propeller, get it?) for follow through… did ya notice the "wheel nut" look on the "skate wheel" light globe…
Bet ya didn’t know where “props” really comes from. (Hint: The thing it’s contracted from is featured in my song “Respect”, when I sing about givin me my “propers when I get home”. And of course what the damn fool kids didn’t get was that, given that it is a contraction thereof, “props” is an absolute… you either get ya propers or you don’t… and so therefore “mad props” – as if props could come in degrees – is dumb as dirt.)
Actually, I DID know it was from “proper” though I didn’t have all the above details. I just threw it in as an (failed) attempt at propeller/fan humor. I also saw what you did there, Urethra. That’s funny.
But but it’s not from “proper”, it’s from “propers”… and I make the distinction cuz I hate it when someone, especially on the mike, says “proper!” about a trick, especially since, on the mike, they are, more often than not: wrong. (That is, they’re giving said move “more than” props. Which is more than just “improper” [cuz who cares about THAT], it’s downright giddy [which is basically a narrow synonym for gay]).
Mic, not mike. As in microphone. ;)
