Trampskate

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder. Here’s a video from the guy who started the Trampskate company. It’s basically a funky set of trucks you can mount to a board and use to practice skateboard moves on the grind rail next to your specialliy inclined trampoline. On the one hand, it’s great […]

Technically a tank scooter

According to Gizmodo, this thing is called the DTV Shredder. No matter how many times it shows up on the internet as a tank skateboard, it’s still a scooter. I love how these product videos all have macho electric guitars or techno music in them. Just once I wish they’d have some really sensitive music […]

A momentary loss of muscular coordination

I had a lapse of judgement, I made some bids I couldn’t back up. Like that time in 8th grade when I almost got stuck paying $60 for a cake at that Boy Scout charity bake auction. These Skatewings are freakish and rare. Just try finding one with a Google image search. Brewce Martin owns […]

Wheelbone connected to the…

The Wheelbone is blowing up. I suppose if you are going to go with the training equipment method, this weird rubber device that looks like a marital aid makes more sense than a special set of soft trucks. $20 gets you a sort of board condom that is ribbed for her pleasure. And speaking of […]

He’s got Sole Skate, it’s super bad.

Well now. Isn’t this special? The Sole Skate is a brand new product with a slick new commercial. It’s almost as if there is some money behind the product. Who could that manufacturer be? Why none other than the same folks that brought us the Razor Scooter. Awesome videos after the jump. If you can […]

Oblique ideas about skateboarding

Once again, these spin offs have become so numerous that I hardly even consider them skateboard related. It’s like they are riffing on something completely different. Michele Camerlengo cops to borrowing inspiration from snakeboards of all things. It’s only a matter of time before the Obliqo becomes two separate foot items without the “board” connecting […]

Rocket powered skateboard

I think we’ve mentioned a few rocket powered skateboards before, and now we’re giving you the tools to do it yourself. OK, not giving you the tools, you need to buy the book. Aside from skateboards, author Dan Pollino is involved in amateur rocketry with engines on a much powerful scale. He’ll teach you how […]

Ice Skateboards from Woman’s Day to 1967

Yeah, that’s right. I read Woman’s Day all the time. I like to brush up on my jello recipes, kick-knacks and diets. You know, keeping it real. Imagine my joy and delight when I perused 8 Incredible Ice Sculptures, which included this photograph from Eugenio Franchi. There are skateboards made out of ice, and then […]

Thus, no returns will be accepted

There’s not much I can say about this “invention,” except I particularly dig the shoes and pants in the close up shot. A sharp dressed man can sell anything in Swartz Creek, Michigan. Skaterhusseindave, we expect a full report. I am selling a custom built board with a caster wheel on one end that will […]
