Colors

I’ve seen a lot of crappy skateboard renderings tacked on to products as an afterthought, but this one looks like the artist actually had an affinity for our favorite pastime. I can’t figure out what animal this is. I thought it was a monkey, but there’s no tail. There’s also no other skateboard related pictures inside. It’s kind of amusing that they call out the fact that it’s a shaped coloring book. They basically just punched out a regular coloring book. You can tell because a lot of the images are cut off. How’s that for investigative reporting?

  1. wtf trick is it? First I was thinking andrecht, but the knees are bent the wrong way. Then I was thinking frontside invert, but the head is backwards and he’s got two right arms. I think its a gorilla

  2. LOL, i was trying to figure out the invert too!

    Almost looks like an egg. Or maybe he’s goin for a
    Smithvert. Can’t tell which way his body is situated.

  4. forget about naming the trick…i’m stiil trying to figure what board the “monkey” is skating….Crayola…was it Henry Sanchez ??

  5. It’s obviously a frontside invert spine transfer.
    Oh wait, is that Glehaven?

  6. I think the only invert where your thumb inside the bowl on the grab is the layback air but he’s facing the wrong way. If it was a Koala

  7. Had to come back to this one. Maybe it’s a layback air to invert… ala Roto-Rooter/Todd Twist? or what was that thing McGill used to try? Egg to back flop?

    MC, this guy needs some HOMO cartooning tips on skate body positions

    Still…two right hands…

    I always thought layback tricks required the thumb to be on top of the bowl.
