Yves Saint Laurent is selling a marble skateboard for £ 3,465, or about $4,800, and yes trucks and wheels are sold separately. This is an honest to Glob skateboard deck carved out of marble. If you absolutely must own a skateboard carved out of stone that you can’t really ride, I’d suggest you go this route instead. Would it really kill them to include the trucks and wheels? I mean, they probably should have had their own YSL wheels made and then they could have charged… you know…$5000 at least… Is the shipping free? Who is buying these? I guess the price is acceptable for a hand crafted piece of rideable art made by the world renown Italian marble… what? Oh… Just like most decks these days, it’s made in the People’s Republic of China. – Thanks to Nick Mattison for the tip.

You never saw this bullshit when punk rock was in charge, although there was plenty of other bullshit. These appear to be concepts only done by a cat named Kirk Henry, who appears to be disavowing it because the picture has been removed from his Flickr stream. And so, there you have it. Luxury skateboards. Why not, they actually made the Ferrari skateboard.

Louis, Louis, Louis do you love me? Sorry to get distracted by Bow Wow Wow, but I’m not sure how to approach this limited edition run of Louis Vuitton skateboards complete with case by Stephen Sprouse. They are only making three, so maybe that justifies the $8,250 price tag. Maybe not. Can’t afford that? Then pony up for one of the 70 $250 T-shirts! Style king of the week! (Don’t forget to use the funny voice.) Imagine the look on your crew’s face when you walk up to a crowded skate spot with your valet toting a nice big fancy box. He sets it on the ground, then with his white gloves, opens the case and gingerly, but very deliberately hands your board to you. “Your shredding stick, sir. Shall I wax the ledge for you? What scent to you prefer?” – Thanks to Tony Bro for the tip, and the visual. [Source: WWDRETAIL]

Stop the presses! The days of slipping, banana peel-style off the top of your deck are over. Ferrari has made an important advance in friction technology. Apparently, the grip tape on this Ferrari branded skateboard is also coated with some sort of magical anti-slip material, which would make it even gripier than regular old grip tape. I hope they didn’t use spray-tack on griptape, otherwise my patent dreams are over. The Ferrari skateboard features a seven-layer Canadian maple board and stretches 79 cm by 20 cm. The Grip Tape on the upper surface (with Ferrari logo) is coated in an anti-slip material to improve grip. A stunning Ferrari red finish, the Italian tricolour and the Prancing Horse logo adorn the underside. The skateboard also has black 54 x 36 mm polyurethane wheels custom moulded with a red stripe. The Ferrari skateboard comes in a stylish red nylon carry bag too. Ferrari has been slapping their logo and PMS color matched red paint on host of mediocre non-automotive devices such as laptop computers for several years now. Further diluting the brand name with a mediocre skateboard must have seemed like a good idea to them as well. Who makes those trucks…

Frank 151 has collaborated with French luxury leather goods craftsman and designer Jacques Ferrand to release limited edition ostrich and crocodile skin skateboard decks with the Frank151 brand. I’m going to call bullshit on these, and I’m going to do it smugly while sitting at a desk wearing leather tennis shoes. What’s next, Snow Leopard decks just so you can show off your bling? How shallow can you get? 90’s teenager culture meets the classic french elegance! Lame. Lame. Lame. Very lame. Thanks to
