Yeah I know the A scale doesn’t really go up that high. Technically, it doesn’t even goo up to 101, but that never stopped wheel companies from marketing them as such. These old Kryptos are made out of cement, and so is the deck. It’s a piece called Irony that was in the PUSH benefit auction for the Division Street Skatepark Project in Bend, Oregon. At least I think it was, because it’s not in any of the photos of the work. It’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on with the project. There’s a blog that was last updated in 2008, and there are pictures of DIY concrete action happening somewhere, but key areas of the site have missing images, and it’s unclear whether or not construction has actually begun. And seriously, guys, I would have loved to promote this auction, give us a heads up next time.
I’m getting off track here. Drew West of the talented Real Concrete Design, cast these. There are more pictures available are on Facebook. Those wheels fit bearings, don’t ya know?
– Thanks to Kevin Porterfield for the tip.

Ive had an idea for ever for a giant concrete skateable skateboard.. like 6ft. high on one side..
Just need the art part of a parks contract to be able to afford to build it..
That one is sick though fo sho.. the trucks look metal?..Must be some big trucks..

RE: JM
Like a bench sized board? To skate like a bench with raised ends? That could be sick.
