It’s full of Adjectives

$120 bucks will get you a Snap foldable skateboard that looks like a Tony Hawk Ride video game controller. It’s not the first time we’ve seen the concept, but maybe the first time it’s actually being somewhat mass produced.

It is just now on the market and really awesome!
It is alluring, revolutionary, unparalleled and a new idea!
It is foldable, invincible, affordable, cool and saves money!

So we know there is no way these guys are going out of business, so there’s absolutely no need to archive the pictures....... Video after the jump.

UPDATE: Added video showing folding action, etc…

– Thanks to John Aguilar for the tip.

Zoolander

I hear they are making a sequel to Zoolander. I don’t remember seeing this from the first time around. The sport sandals make this look. If it had been made a few years later they would have used a longboard.

Birds, bees, and bones

Pay attention in school kids. You never know when things might get interesting. This is a random slide from a biology lecture that Billy Bones attended. I don’t know what’s more messed up, the skater’s wacky shape or his massively receding hairline. It’s also kind of creepy that the only fully opaque figure is a girl in a bikini.

Front side Barack and roll

As disappointed as I am with his term, I was ready to believe this for half a heart beat. This video is fake, but pretty well done. Come on Obama, get some for cryin’ out loud…

Legoland Extreme Zone Shop

A few pics from the Extreme Zone Shop in Legoland Florida. I think it’s less than a year old, and it shows a little. I don’t think it would be worth the cash if it was even moderately busy. For instance the “Factory” exhibit is the shoddiest fake animatronic display that looks like it was designed in one weekend to be temporarily set up in a mall. The park is geared towards little kids though, and mine had a blast. The Extreme Zone shop was just like any shop at the mall or airport. They didn’t give me any grief for moving a few displays out of the way to get the mini ramp in frame.

Bohemian Greeting Cards

“Dear Friend, I so enjoyed our session yesterday. Let’s rip together again some time soon. Yours in counterculture, Bobby.” Bohemian Greeting Cards, available at a gift shop going out of business soon. Check your mall for details. It’s only a matter of time before my mother in-law sends me one of these. I should start an “office pool.”

More waste paper, more resin, more skateboards

More, more, more. How do ya like it? How do ya like it? What do you do with a couple hundred misprinted design retrospective books? Invite other designers to see what they can make of them. Alberto Villarreal and his team at AGENT, ended up weaving them together and covering them with resin in a homemade mold to make skateboards. Super strong, but heavier and more flexible than wood, so it’s not going to be mass produced any time soon.
