Because it’s relevant, and in case you missed the Jesus skateboarding figure. Like all holidays, Easter stuff goes on sale the day after the event. I picked up this Extreme™! Scooby Doo Easter basket last year for about $12, which was down from $30, I believe. Scooby can’t decide if he wants to hit the slalom course or barge a pool.
Scooby-Doo Extreme skateboard Easter Basket
Here it is in all it’s glory, unwrapped except for the shrink wrap still on the skateboard.
Here’s the good stuff. The micro mini board just larger than my shoe.Scooby is rocking an awesome bike helmet, and since I can’t see any coping, it looks like he’s into street plants.
The graphic on the board below says “Ride the Pipe,” which must be why they included those slalom cones. These guys are seriously out of touch with popular skateboarding, slalom underground rebirth or not. Maybe they based this product off a memo from a meeting in 1979.
If you are going to be hitting the slalom course, you’ll need an Extreme™! water bottle too.
“Help Scooby find the pool” maze on the back of the packaging. Gnarly standup frontside carve. Or is it backside? Wait, that looks like the tail sticking out, but the fire is shooting the other direction so maybe he just came off of some switch body varial move. And, I don’t care to hazard a guess at what version of the gymnast plant Scooby is pulling off in the background.
In case you were wondering… Yes, it is.
In 2006 they had another one, which I, err bought after Easter for the hell of it. Actually, the reason I bought the second one is because my kid, who was one and some change at the time, had formed an attachment to the first one, which disappeared. Fortunately it was right around Easter, so I only had to listen to him cry about it intermittently for a couple of weeks until the new one went on sale. This one was an Easter can, if you want to get technical.
This time around the maze on the back was keeping Scooby away from an abstract quarter pipe. I cropped out the crossword because it was not skateboard related.

Also, in the interest of religous accuracy(Catholic)
I would suggest that skating Jesus is a total fraud.
Jesus wouldnt need skate shoes. Jesus wouldnt need shoes at all. He would probably wear sandles if anything.
He definitely wouldnt need a practice rail or flat bar.
And nooo, he wouldnt have a cross for a skateboard.
Thats just stupid.Your stupid

First off, that is totally blasphemous.
Scooby would never slalom nor would he induldge in candy treats outside of scooby snacks, especially while riding.
Thats mixing pleasure with pain and Scooby ain’t about that shit.
