If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to want a glass of milk. A similar saying can be said for skateboarders. If you give them parts, they will build some kind of rolling contraption out of it.

Can you imagine skateboarding on this design Loren Kulesus has created without falling through it or snapping it in half? If it weren’t just a concept maybe you’d actually get a go at riding it.

Colors and vectors and shapes, oh my! Chuck Anderson’s creations for NoPattern’s decks are incredible.

Mountain Dew’s Action Sports Tour is headed our way and Nike really wants to make peoples’ jaws drop. For their campaign, they hired the ad/design firm Hub Strategy who worked on this armor-plated war truck, turning it into a mobile extreme sport HQ. But, what makes this monstrous truck so extreme? It’s not the skateboard ramp on the back or ...

Inventor Spot wrote up a list of 10 companies they feel create great skateboard deck designs. The companies listed are well known skateboard developers that focus on designs that are anything but ordinary.

Remember that carbon fiber Element Push deck? We were impressed by the craftsmanship of the board, so the folks at Element sent us one to check out. Specifically, the Atchley Stealth.
