Insta-Ledge

Insta-Ledge is a system of portable, skateable ledges in modular lengths of 4 feet. Sure, you could go skate somewhere else, but Instaledge definitely has some potential benefits. Suppose there’s a great spot you’d like to skate without actually destroying some artfully built ledge. Say it was covered with ceramic tiles, (or skate stoppers) you […]

squirrel

Squirrely Style

I got really excited about what I thought was a squirrel on a skateboard that I spotted at Mimosa Studios, but then it turned out to be two separate, unrelated items. After seeing them together, I didn’t want one without the other. Unfortunately, unfinished ceramics are way more expensive than I thought they would be. […]

banana

Banana Board

This is an odd ceramic serving dish that looks like a couple piles of bananas and leaves in the shape of a skateboard. The banana wheels actually spin too. That’s just weird. [Source: Copper County Antiques]

smurf

It’s by no means the definitive Muppets skateboarding post, a good place to start for that is the Muppet Wiki. If only I could channel this enthusiasm […]

Richie Rich

This is Richie Rich #163 published in February of 1978 by Harvey Publications. As a child, I never understood the appeal of Richie Rich. Why would anyone want to read about a kid who was absurdly rich unless he was also Batman? In 1978, Richie is on the forefront of the novelty skateboard trend with […]

Sk8rNutz

I met a guy lurking outside of the Street League contest in Portland.he said he could show me something I hadn’t seen before. I told him “Not, here. Not now, especially with my kids present.” No, no… I took a glance and said “I don’t know man, I’ve seen hubcaps on skateboards before.” But then […]

Insert foot plant joke here

I got this ceramic skateboard planter from Heath Berg as a thanks for printing up some skateboards for Above Coping. Thanks Heath! How big is it? About 8.5″ wide by 2.5″ tall, Hens and Chics not included.
