Skate and Annoy: Daily
GT Mouse Skateboard
This may look like a photoshop mishap or AI slop, but it’s actually a real product from 70’s skateboard manufacturer Grentec. For a split second I thought I may have saved some bad photoshopped images of this mini GT skateboard as a goof, but I managed to find another example, just one. And you guessed it, it was on Skate and Annoy, in an old Ebay Watch article from 2013. These guys made fiberglass decks too, but they were primarily known for being the Cadillac of the plastic skateboard world. I’m peppering this post with enough keywords to make sure it shows up again the next time someone searches for a GT aka Grentec mouse mini plastic skateboard. It predates the Doz’r, but I’m not sure about the Skircle. How is anyone supposed to ride this?
Battle of the Sidewinders
Cleaning out the old hard drive again. I found an old 2013 auction for the Sidewinder skateboard at the bottom of the image above. My first thought was maybe it was related to the company that brought you Sidewinder wheels, but that seems more like a coincidence based on the quality of that deck and wheels, not to mention two different Sidewinder skateboards currently being auctioned off, both of which have the same logo as the wheels.
