Bigger-er-est
Bringing you the finest in in-depth skate journalism, do I getting a freaking pretend Pulitzer Prize in skateboarding for this or what? No, that’s not another one of MC’s experiments in photoshop, it’s an actual picture of the new world’s biggest skateboard. No, it’s not official yet, but it’s in the bag. Swank’s board is 12 feet long, and Grant Hick’s is 20. This creation of the Bay College CAD class weighs in at 31 feet long by 8 feet wide. A one inch equals one foot scaled up model of a skateboard that is by far the most realistic of the three contenders. You can read a couple of regurgitated stories from the Michigan press or follow the link for more real information, including construction pictures and a video that looks like one of those “UFO” sightings.

Yep, the execution is superb! THAT is kickass. (But they built a BLANK!)
I’m callin’ it now, Seismic will buy it…
I am not saying they wont but we have not had any contact with them as of now. I cant say any names of ppl looking at it but if the one person does. It will be cool. I will though make sure Seismic knows about the sale.
and we built a black so when someone does buy it they can custom paint their own logo on it
to bad we cant try bombing the streets of san francisco on it.
JB, I was just kidding about the blank… ’cause blanks have been discussed ad nauseum as a thorn in the industries side recently… attempting to be funny…
I think Seismic will miss a HUGE marketing opportunity if they let it go…
Today we did the measurements of the board at the U.P. State Fair it all went well. I will be sending in some new pics from today once we get the news if we get the record soon.
As of today 08/21/07 we have the Worlds Largest Skateboard approved by Guinness
Congratulations! Nice Work Guys!
[…] from the fact that we don’t pay any attention to street luge. At least we scooped them on the World’s Biggest Skateboard. Joel King bills himself as the Gravity King, which makes me the Duke of Sketch. [Photos: Top and […]
