The ol’ MERSEDES-BENDS skateboard factory
Introducing the new ol’ MERSEDES-BENDS skateboard which may not be entirely correct maybe it should be the new skateboards from the ol’ MERSEDES-BENDS skateboard factory that’s new!! If that seems confusing, think of it this way . . . The ol’ MERSEDES-BENDS skateboard factory is new but we’re not. The truth of the matter is: We were the original makers of the production line skateboard away back in ’63. At that time we were producing surfboards on a national scale when we decided that maybe a sidewalk skateboard could be a popular sport. It was and is! Anyway, back in those days it just seemed right to call it a skate board ..If we were creating the business today, we’d probably call it a skate glass, or maybe a skate poly-propolene. Could be even a polypropolene-urathane, but more accurately, to describe our line, we could call it a “Hand laminated-bi-directional-longitudial-pultruded-polypropolene-fiberglass epoxy-resin-super-flex-kicktail-hand-poured-urathane-precision-mag-stoker-skate”
.. But we’ve made it easy for you… Just ask for the latest board from the ol’ MERSEDES-BENDS skateboard factory if you want the best!
