I realize that the correlation between skateboarders and cigar smokers is likely very low and a venn diagram depicting the pair’s relation would be even more laughable than than the mental image. But I don’t really care because I know that there are some skaters out there who would totally rock this deck with an abundance of ironic glee. The Cigar Skateboard was designed for the Bordo Bello charity auction for AIGA Denver. The design even incorporates wrinkling which resembles... Continue reading

Ahh, it’s nice to be reminded of home. Unfortunately this skateboard reminds me of my roof, rather than my cozy couch. How awesome would it be to build a roof using only skateboard? Designer Devin Barette created several artsy skateboards, including the Shingled Skateboard, for an art show and auction to raise money for charity. Link [via]

Try to do an ollie on this bad boy without breaking any keys. Now that sounds like an interesting new challenge for the X-Games. The Skatekeyboard combines the art of skating with the geekery of keyboarding. Can you skateboard and type a complete sentence with your feet at the same time? Tony Hawk has a new art to perfect now.

Just as Eve was tempted into eating from the tree of knowledge, I too am being tempted to commission myself a set of these skateboards if they ever see the light of day. Designed by ProcessRecess, and commissioned by Giant Robot, the Exit Eden skateboard symbolizes the rise of science and the inspection of religion through the sharp eyes of technology. Link

Anthony is the man. Not just because he’s an avid Gearfuse reader, but because he designed this badass skateboard deck called Fruit. The entire thing is wrapped in fruit, giving a your board a fresh new look in a world full of World Industries and Element. The best part is that although extremely limited, you can still get your paws on one of Anthony’s boards for only $65. A small price to pay for an original deck. After the jump:... Continue reading

Anyone who has witnessed the now infamous “2 Girls, 1 Cup” video will never be the same. Trust me, you’ll know what I’m talking about if you’ve seen it or even just heard about it. This vehicle immortalizes the meme through the majesty of skateboard design. Here is the description from the Flick image: My son bought a new skateboard at Van’s at the Block of Orange. He thought his mom and dad would not know what the skateboard’s graphic... Continue reading

How the Tony Hawk video game franchise keeps chugging along is beyond me, especially with the release of Skate 2. So to keep things fresh, the latest incarnation of the franchise, titled Tony Hawk RIDE, will feature an actual skateboard controller. See it down there? With all the buttons on the side? How the fuck is this thing going to work? I’m curious to find out. Look for it to hit the PS3, 360 and Wii sometime this year. Link

Oh, wait. Yeah, sorry. It’s a skateboard deck with a boombox painted on the bottom. Boy do I feel like a dumbass. At $60, it was hard to tell since both are priced accordingly. Link [via]

Now here’s a concept we can really get behind. A folding skateboard concept designed by Jin-Seok Hwang. Dangerous? Probably, but c’mon, it’s skateboarding. This would make it much easier to bring a skateboard with you on a bike ride and would allow you to chuck it in a backpack and roll out. Though it’d really suck for this thing to collapse in the middle of a trick. Link [via]

Here’s a creative idea: take an old, radical skateboard deck and turn it into a usable chair. Aside from recycling and bringing new design to the living room, the Skede chair is available with a deck from Control or without a deck. That means you can add your own or Ryan Ash can add his broken NOFX skate deck. No fatties though, ’cause that deck acts as a third chair leg. Link [via]
