Used skateboards are getting to be quite a commodity. It used to be you were a poser if you just carried your skateboard instead of riding it. Now I feel like poser because I’m not making stuff out of old skateboards. Art of Board recycles skateboards for furniture and a bunch of other vague things that they don’t really explain, other than to say that they provide commercial/residential interiors, retail environments, display and design, furniture and artwork. They are launching a program called I Ride. I Recycle. to collect boards for recycling at skateshops across the country. UPDATE: Art of Board answers some of your questions: – Thanks to Rick MacDonald for the tip.

I’ve often wondered what it would be like to ride a skateboard on a bobsled track. I always assumed it would be too fast to contain it, but that was before I contemplated what the surface was. Danny Strasser doesn’t have to wonder. He’s hit a bunch of tracks all over Europe. I wonder if these are sanctioned runs or barge sessions. I imagine after recent sad events these tracks might be harder and harder to get onto with four wheels. – Thanks to Jesus Crust for the tip.

That’s right. Stick anything on a skateboard to make it look cool, hip, young, and dare I say… EXTREME! So extreme that a mere cell phone camera couldn’t quite capture this Dole banana box without a blur. – Thanks to John Aguilar for the snap.

I’m in the market for a new digital camera, specifically a Nikon because that’s what my lenses are leftover from my now defunct D70, which has suffered a fatal casualty in the memory card reading connection. Repairs cost about exactly what the body goes for used on eBay. When I went to the Nikon USA web site to price the current lineup, I noticed this skateboard shot gracing the front page of the web site. They have a randomizer selecting from a pool of images, so this one might not be prominently displayed, but you should see it flash briefly regardless. Hey Nikon, check out those nice, big new banner ads… – Tip of the hat to Orezona, what’s up?
