Wacky Skateboards – Page 16

Oldest school, classical style

Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, these skateboards from Greece is for Lovers are not meant to be ridden, they just meant to be marveled at, or puzzled over. Although they appear to sell some items, these skateboards titled Tougher than Leather and Ridden in Stone appear to be more like exercises than […]

Cool/Old/Weird/Crappy board of the month: Surf Flyer

The Surf Flyer appears to be a European phenomenon. At least nobody from North America has chimed in about them. This one comes to us from Dean Tyrell ( It’s his week!) Believe me when I say that there are virtually no other shots of the vintage Surf Flyer skateboard anywhere on the web, so […]

Authentic athletic activity

While the PowerBoard can be presented as a new type of skateboard, it’s attraction reaches beyond that of conventional skateboards. Adults, as well as children and teens are drawn to the PowerBoard’s high-tech/high-performance image. The PowerBoard is an exciting new exercise machine, a means of transportation, and a high performance sport vehicle all-in-one. The prototype […]

Show all fashionable vehicles

Technology is amazing. We live in exciting times! I have a new invention I’m working on. I’d like to somehow combine these old skatebikes (left) with the new bikeboards that are all the rage. I really feel like there’s the potential for something incredibly fun. If I could just figure out how to take the […]

Three electric eclectic wheels

We did wacky Japanese skateparks today, so next up is wacky French three wheeled electric skateboards from the same people who brought you the Girls Allowed Here photo set. It’s called GroundSurf, and of course there are Chinese and Taiwanese knockoffs.

Insert Old/New School joke

In case nobdy is paying attention, you can write “I am KILLING it!” on the bottom of your deck. This full size 7.75″ wide skateboard deck chalkboard comes with eraser, chalk and a wall hanging kit. It’s available from Mary & Matt for $65. Well, that’s not too bad, considering you can buy chalk and […]

My beach. My wave. Go home.

Look out for this amazing entry into the heated surfing simulation battle from On Shore Boards. No seriously. I mean look out for it, because if one of these things catches you in the ankle, your walking days are over. These guys are so into simulating surfing, they made a guy ride a board into […]

O Face, bad kind

“Revolutionary skateboard breaks all the rules! The OBOARD!” The OBoard, as in “Oh crap, I just wasted $131.95!” or “Oh no! Look what I’m riding!” You can fill in the rest yourself. They got a streetskater with some skills to do the demo too. You haven’t seen so many neear tic-tacks since the 70’s.

In case the other company “folds”

Once again, if you can buy it, you can DIY it. Intstuctables.com user Jerbearisapimp9 (apparently there were eight other “jerbearisapimps”) has seven pages of instructions on how to make your own foldable skateboard. His method involves scavenging something called a BOA lace system from some snowboard boots (or golf shoes). The BOA system replaces shoelaces […]
