Here’s a Halloween graphic form Beer City Skates / Records. Why? Why not? Maybe go buy some of their stuff.

Skate or Die…. or is it Shove-it? I can’t believe they trademarked Shove-it™. The image used for this Halloween costume is just a serving suggestion, as the skateboard and kneepads are not included. – Thanks to Josh Baker for the photo.

Kinder Surprise Toy Egg
