Fake Sims Kevin Staab complete
This is clearly a Kevin Staab bootleg. More than one company seems to have copied the ‘Mad Chemist’ graphic in the past. We had some here and I have seen some other fake Staabs around. The original deck was designed by John Lucero in 1986 for Sims. Also, this fake one is made by Saturn, […]

Matix Skateboarder Magazine Covers
Skateboards with covers from 1978 editions of Skateboarder Magazine, somehow affiliated with Matix Clothing, although they have no details on their site, besides a link to this picture. Retro is overused, but these look pretty good. Oregon locals: The next time you see Tom Inouye (board 3) let him know you saw him on the […]

Boom Art and Alain Aslan pinups
Alain Aslan was a pinup artist most famous for his work in Lui magazine. He passed away earlier this month, so it’s kind of unclear how long this limited edition skateboard set from Boom-Art has been in the works, and whether or not it’s authorized. They sent me a press release earlier this week but […]
SK8FACE on Kickstarter
Sk8face has been kicking around the web for a long time. I became aware of it back in 2008. I had just sort of assumed the project had fizzled out, but they’ve been working on it steadily. Now they are turning to Kickstarter to fund post production. If you’re scratching your head, Sk8face is a […]
These aren’t the skateboards you’re looking for
Rebelscum.com reports from the Agenda trade show that Santa Cruz is releasing some licensed Star Wars skateboards. It looks like some of them come packaged like little action figures. Santa Cruz will put out a skateboard with anything and everything on it. As weak as the idea of a Star Wars skateboard is, I really […]
Fake Kryptonics team deck
This fake Kryptonics complete is even less well known than the first Kryptonics bootleg that I posted on S&A. I had to check AOS to find out that the original graphic came from a 1989 team deck, called ‘Footprint’. Also, I have never seen bootlegs with this shape and coloured grip. Kryptonics started to make […]
