Dogboarding. I’d say “Meh….” but they did a really good job with it, even going through the trouble to green screen some live dog heads on the props. Well done. Watch it after the jump. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip. Source? Oh.. I don’t know… where was this found… I’m starting a week of boycotting the source posts from this site since the guy who runs it never credits SnA or anyone else for that matter. Yes, I am that big of a baby at this point.

You’d never guess what this contraption was if you didn’t know already, or the title of the post didn’t give you an inkling. It’s not the newest wackyboard. Take your best shot and get the answer after the jump. [Source: AL.com] – Thanks to Eric Cherry (again) for the tip.

I can’t believe that senile old bastard still makes these gals wear those stupid bunny ears. It’s not sexy, it’s sad. Playboy hostied a benefit for the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (Diffa) That’s a Birdhouse / Playboy skateboard. [Source: BizBash] – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.

Tony Hawk had a short interview in the How Did I get Here? column of the October issue of Fast Company. Turns out there is interesting reading material at my mother in-law’s house.

Mike V is making the nostalgia rounds lately. First he ditched his own company to team up with Powell again, and now he’s going back to Airwalk. I had completely forgotten (more likely failed to register in the the first place) that he ever rode for Airwalk. They’re re-releasing the Enigma. as well as releasing some new versions of old classics reworked by Vallely. You can hear him wax poetic about returning to the Airwalk roster after the jump. I think Airwalk has changed ownership at least twice since he left. [Source: Artist Direct] – Thanks to Tito for the tip.

A German cat named Tobias Megerle has commissioned traditional wood carvers in Mombai, India to make ornamental skateboards instead of furniture for a change, and boy do those sorry guys look miserable. He plans on showing them in an exhibit at a gallery called the Loft at Lower Parel. Megerle said he had been fascinated with the craft but wanted to find a way to showcase it that wasn’t so stuffy and boring. Here’s why he chose skateboards: …the good old skateboard. In Mumbai — though almost completely unknown — the skateboard is, in many places, more than just a piece of sports equipment. It’s an entire lifestyle that’s created around it, a unique music style, special clothes, whole skater-parks. So that’s a heads up to all our, uh… Indian readers.
