Wacky Skateboards – Page 6

Yachts, race cars and skateboards

This year’s entry into the next great skateboard fabrication method comes from N2R Skate, which is a side venture from a company that has been making boat hulls using a sandwiched composite technology from a Swedish company named DIAB. It’s apparently used in private jets, boats, skis, trains, submerged water vehicles, and now skateboards. The […]

Hot Wheels

As a young kid in the mid 80s I thought Hot Wheels cars were cooler and fresher than the ones from Matchbox and Majorette (Mattel already introduced Hot Wheels in 1968, but little did I know). This crazy thing here looks like the first skateboard you would give your kid to make him say farewell […]

11 wheels out

Golfboard!!!!

Where was the Golfboard when Schwing! magazine was in it’s heyday? Did Schwing! ever have a heyday? The GolfBoard’s primary innovation over any other electric skateboard seems to be the optional addition of a handle for holding a golf bag, which would make it more of a scooter, and the uncanny way in which the […]

One Wheel

I don’t know what to say about Onewheel that I haven’t already said about other one-wheeled, electric powered, self balancing skateboards before (echo, echo, echo…) It’s been 7 years since we first posted about these types of contraptions, and this one is still going to set you back $1200. They’ve almost doubled their $100,000 Kickstarter […]

Novelty skateboard central

I swear that’s not the plan for 2014, it’s just a coincidence. Spotted at a Vans store in the mall. The Vans, shoe shaped skateboard, complete with top and bottom graphics, including waffle sole.

3D Printed Skateboard

Sam Abbot designed and modeled this skateboard deck. He printed one in three pieces (too big for his printer) and fit it together with a dowel system and some epoxy. He’s the first to admit that it’s not super sturdy. Sure, it’s nothing more than a novelty right now, but there are some things you […]

Fizio

Antonio Gaspar is a physiotherapist. I’m not sure how that differs from a physical therapist, but maybe that’s the difference that allowed him to “develop” the Fizio, which is a skateboard made by Powa bungie corded to an equally futuristic looking stand. The purpose? To make physical therapy more fun. I guess you are supposed […]

Beercan Boards

Skateboards made from recycled aluminum. There’s no guarantee it was a beer can in a past life, but Beercan Boards sound better than “Diet Pepsi can Boards.” They’ve taken the old aluminum death plank board of yesteryear and upgraded it with a channel beam which I assumed was to give it stiffness, but it turns […]
