Cheap Skateboards in Nicaragua

Gee whiz. Pretty, pretty boy. Onward to Managua.

You don’t have to go all the way to… Wal-Mart to buy… Chinese skateboards straight from your skate shop to… Aw hell. I can’t figure out how to spin this. Chip Atkins went on vacation to Nicaragua. I only know one other person who has done that, hail GVK! While in a supermarket in Managua, Chip found a real nice skateboard. That’s not dollars, hombre, thats’s Cordoba. This board costs about $12. And no, the title of this post is not me trying to get a date with Chip, I’m quoting Midwest punk rock circa 1985. Name that band for a noprize. Void where prohibited. Residents of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan are disqualified.

Thanks to Chip Atkins for the tip. Hey, he works at a bike shop. In the spirit of the holiday season everyone jump all over him and give him a hard time.

Holy cow. Look at the size of that warning sticker. It’s almost bigger than the board graphics.

Let’s get a good look at that. Oh wait. I don’t speak Spanish.

  • OK, I’m dq’d for non-prize, being from Michigan and all, but you are referencing Naked Raygun in the title.

  • naked raygun

  • I dig the Naked Raygun reference!

  • The sticker says:
    WARNING-before using

    Always wear a helmet,elbow pads and knee pads while using this skateboard.Verify that all nuts and bolts are well adjusted.This skateboard is not designed for use in the street,only use on surfaces that are dry and flat,dont use at night,or in places that have traffic.
    Children under 10, should be supervised by an adult…

  • it says most of the usual but be sure not to skate at night

    “always use a helmet and pads,
    be sure all nuts, bolts, and pieces are adjusted,
    This skateboard is not designed for use in the street, only use it on dry, flat surfaces, do not use it at night or in traffic (trafico spelled wrong)
    children under 10 Should be supervised by an adult”
