Sit Skate Redux

Way back in 2014 I saw one of these things on eBay and couldn’t figure out what it was, or even if it was skateboard related. I looked like it might have possibly been made for rollerskating rinks, I couldn’t tell. Fast forward 8 years and turns the this thing was the “Sit Skate,” and […]

Again with the Ski Skate…

It’s only been about 9 years since I first became aware of the Ski Skate, and now at long last, I can add a second post on this ancient relic. Check out this promotional flyer from the toy company that made it. I say toy company, but they seemed to split their product line into […]

Project LandBearShark

I guess it gets cold in Boston. When it does, some people go stir crazy. Stir crazy enough to build a tracked skateboard thingy. This guy must be crazy. Doesn’t he realize that Valterra is worth literally tens of dollars on the Back to the Future eBay nostalgia road show? – Thanks to Boy Ipoh […]
