Skate Crate by Blockhead
Dave Bergthold started Blockhead skateboards in his garage in 1985. Since then he’s had a kid, worked on the TV show Built to Shred and had a minor relaunch of Blockhead handful of years ago. While there are bigger plans for the Blockhead brand in the works, Bergthold just is launching a new project called the Skate Crate via Kickstarter. It’s an updated version of the fruit crate scooter, the forefather of the skateboard. It’s essentially a vintage styled cruiser with a removable crate and handle bars attached. There are three graphics available, blue you have the option to design and build your own. Because it’s a Kickstarter project, there are some cool incentives to donate, including Blockhead t-shirts and a great looking cruiser in it’s own right.
“While there have been many retro products, inspired by the history of skateboarding, nobody has taken it back to the roots of it all …”
No, thanks a lot, McFly!
Luckily, the crate is removable so I don’t have to violently rip it off …
let it go buddy. there is a broom out there for all of you washed up pros and company mismanagers.
Kinda just seems like a really big scooter :/
All I want in terms of retro products from Blockhead is a reissue of the Hard Times deck series.
That nothing is cool deck is really cool and it’s only a 59 dollar donation. I would totally be happy to pay that if I knew the money wasn’t going towards making these awful skate crates.
