I will be hosting an art show at Vera project (under the space needle) in the month of June. It will be there that the boards I have been hiding up my sleeve for a year and a half will premiere. I promise they will not disappoint.

 I’m hoping that these new ideas, and concepts will blow every one away. With that said, I want to invite all who are interested… to reinvent remake or reengineer the skate board. Make your own  art board! This is a call to artists who want to bend the definition of the skate board. The only requirement for this show is that the skate board must be ride-able for at least a few feet .

 I have received some interesting pitches from my friends in the skate board community already. A banana board that rides in circles. An astroturf board with possible flower arrangements on each end. A skate board with a walker attached, and a actual surf board made into a skate board. So if you can get it to Seattle we will hang it in the gallery show. No idea has been too crazy so far.

As for the lack of updates on my site…

The reason the site project has been frozen for a while was because I had ran out of money (and had to move my shop). Although the sea horse and the fish boards are still available for sale, and I have a few wood boards available with tiki designs (available from last summer).  If you would like me to get back on track to update this with the new stuff… you can help by buying one of the finished art boards. I am selling the smaller  aluminum sizes at $150.00 now. and the  complete wood boards at $65

As I get more money saved, I will put the buy page up. It should be up before spring, but if you are interested in a custom board I will send you a link to buy one of the curent designs I have hand made and only sold localy thus far.

Although I am going to put out a quick post to clear up a few things for the skate boarders, and designers.

We only have two designs  available right now with more coming soon, but aluminum boards will not be our main focus. 

1. We created the boards for novelties sake and decided to launch a few months early to show people what we came up with.

2. We have every intention and are working on wood board designs as well as grip tape designs to trick out regular boards.

3. We are not claiming any addition or step to the already high-tech skateboard industry or its standards. These boards were not made to be any kind of evolutionary step in skateboarding. We have no intention of misleading anyone. We have actual skateboarders ride and test the boards if they do not work, they go back to the drawing board till they do. That includes vibration, and ankle bites. The aluminum boards ride fine thanks to the spring action of seismic trucks.

4. We are few (not many) just a hand full of people are working on this process. So far  it has been all about the fun, and what we can come up with. We feel the possibilities are endless with design. 

Any of the regular concerns that may come with skateboarding and our boards are valid.  The boards are not made for tricks in fact they are meant for the long boarding scene, and were designed  for cruising only.

Aluminum skate boards have been around since the seventies (they are nothing new), we just added the twist of unusual shapes. We just wanted to create something that turned heads to draw attention to our design aesthetics.

With all of this said,  wait till you get a load of our wood long board designs.
