Ohio has a few renegade skateboard companies, including one called Sleezy Skates. In their own words:
homemade spray painted planks from the heart of southern ohio. skatopia lurkers. doin it fer the kids in the sticks!
These are a few of my favorites at the top. Although really crude, they have a large “body of work” that has definitely has an outsider art appeal. What more would you expect from the land of Skatopia and Devo? Check out Sleezy Skates.

well niel, were skateboarders not male models. pretty rad of you to talk about how ugly we are. shows character.and since you know everything about every skateboard ever we value your busted-ass opinion highly.
“I ain’t no toothless fuckin redneck hillbilly” you forgot gun-totin’, truck drivin, and whiskey drinkin’.
now GIT!

Last time I checked I’m from chicago, so I guess that’s the midwest. But it sure as hell aint busted-ass Ohio, and I aint no toothless fucking redneck hillbilly like the rest of you obviously are. The decks still suck and so do you all. But I’m happy you like them. You deserve eachother. Ugly ass white trash decks for ugly ass white trash folks.

mr. cooper (the black dude from the 90's)
house of neil’s retarded. he doesnt know shit about skateboardin thats why he goes through all this message board shit just to decide what hes gonna ask his mommy to order him next. sleezys from the heart (or the gut) of skateboarding around here. they put the real meaning in skateboarding; havin a good ol time. next time u take a sip of that pbr or that bong rip, think about buyin a sleezy board on the side!
House of Lien
Repent, sinners! Gaze in awe at some gnarly fuggin’ decks — then buy one, then go skate it. THEN complain about the graphics, and see if you still feel good about yerself for ripping on such a sick stick.

Its different out here in the midwest, we aint premadonnas about our shit. Everything is sketch and we like it that way. Skatopia and Sleezy arnt for the faint of heart, and i dare you houseofneil to roll up to Skatopia and repeat your comment.
dave
if you’ve never been to Skatopia… you probably wont get it.
The Buzzkill deck is awesome. Not for everyone though.
houseofneil
zero comments is about what these decks deserve. Oh shit. Make that 1 comment.
