The Skate World Turned Day Glo

Located in Everton Park in Liverpool, England (insert gratuitous Men in Blazers reference), this is second glow in the dark skatepark in existence. Korean artist Koo Jeong A, who came up with the concept had some pretty lofty goals: “I devised extremely steep, sharp angles, which would be a challenge to the most courageous and […]

Some light skating

Andy Shinkage is selling re-issued skateboards turned into household lighting fixtures. They’re wired through the cutouts in the wooden riser pads that allow the board to remain intact without extra holes being drilled. As a wall mount, it’s kind of odd, I think the obvious choice would be to hang it overhead. Another thing you’d […]

These glass skateboard decks are from an Instagram feed. I believe this is the third glass skateboard deck iteration we’ve posted. (See […]

Prisma Guitars

Here’s more guitars made from used skateboards, this time from Prisma Guitars. These are more common now, but Prisma looks like they’ve taken the craftsmanship up a level. I was going to hassle Nick Pourfard about showing no love for bass players, but he can do them, and has done them for Steve Harris of […]

Anri carving Girl

You’re looking at a hand carved figure of a girl riding a skateboard, or at least, sitting on it while breaking in some new bowling shoes. It dates back to an undetermined point in the 70’s, and was carved for the highly collected Swiss company called Anri. Actually, it’s hard to tell where the company […]

Skateboarding Animals by Giuse Modica

These animals riding skateboards are illustrated by a fellow named Guise. Sure, they lack the naive appeal of Schmetz Petz, but look at that technique! [Source: WhatAnArt via Juxtapoz] – Thanks to MC for the tip.
