broken skateboards turned into skulls? Damn, that's dark. Interesting though

a couple of guys, with helmet and cowboy hats, sitting on lawnchairs, ziptied to big skate boards with a boombox playing Run Around Sue... not the craziest thing you'll see in New York City

For a complete day wasting fun time,  check out the "WhatIsNewYork" instagram. Trust me, it's jsut hundreds of crazy short videos, from street boxing, to odd people in the park, some guy singing an opera with both the male and female lead vocals while playing violin.... and dozens of other strange things

Well, I've never seen a skateboard used like this before, but what the hell, why not?

Lena Salmi, professor at the University of Helsinki, was nearly 60 when she took up skateboards.

I began longboarding at the age of 57. Initially I started because I thought my beautiful bike would be stolen outside the Olympic swimming stadium in Helsinki, Finland, where I swim every single day during summer. I just got the idea that a longboard would be more suitable in a locker, and this is how it all began.

After one summer of cruising, I began to realise that perhaps I should learn a little bit more. Friends taught me to slalom – weaving in and out of obstacles, or around whatever is facing you. But this was the point where being patient with myself came into the picture. For some three years I had been merely cruising, but little by little I started to get the confidence to challenge myself. This is when skateboarding came into my life – I was 61.

I immediately started skateboarding into work. [It] is seen as remarkable in the eyes of others, but can been seen as unprofessional, too. I have at times managed to relax the atmosphere because I've walked into meetings with my skateboard. Nowadays my work is my PhD at the University of Helsinki where there are no issues concerning my skateboarding.

In fact, she’s the Facebook administrator for a group called “Very Old Skateboarders,” which has more than 2,000 members.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/VeryOldSkateboarders/about/

awesome! Damn! this looks like something I can work with! I got a drill, skateboards have to be cheaper than those electric scooters

Parents probably already realize... that kids left alone with no adult around will break anything within 100 years, somehow. Here's one of the more unique ways a skateboard was employed in destruction

yes, that was the 2nd attempt to break the window. Yes, it was deliberate.

The only skateboard rack I've ever come across

Skateboards used for lights in a pizza place

I'm not saying skaters are stupid, but the dumb ones won't be reproducing

And all of those skaters that try to slide down a hand rail on some stairs in a park, and land on their heads

some people look at a busted skateboard as a challenge, and still roll on smoothly

Skateboard with history stolen, ... damn.

Skateboards... that's one way to move the car around the driveway, I suppose. Cheaper to use old skateboards than buy casters

helical wheels... made of three-dimensional sine waves, increases traction, decreases rolling resistance... well, that is the pseudoscience claims of the manufacturer

Unlike traditional wheels, this design creates a thinner contact patch with the pavement, providing less rolling resistance and faster ride.

“The alternating pattern equates to increased control — the width is increased, but the friction is decreased,” explains the startup’s Kickstarter page. “The sine wave design provides three lips per wheel for superior lateral grip. A traditional wheel only has one.”

Created by Zack Fleishman, Shark Wheels — named because they resemble a shark’s jaw — also help skaters avoid debris, a common nuisance for beachfront skaters of Southern California.

So, if you'd rather bypass the hype, and get to the science that proves most of the claims are just hype to get more free publicity, then read http://physicsbuzz.physicscentral.com/2013/06/reinventing-wheel.html and it doesn't take long to see that if any skateboard tire were just groved, all the same claims would apply. This company happened to make a different looking wheel, and that is about all they actually accomplished

50 pounds of CO2 and a couple skateboards

A skate ramp in the middle of a hemp field, marketing gimmic. It's not pot

To celebrate 'jumping on the hemp bandwagon', Australian clothing brand Afends have built a small half pipe.

I'll go on record on saying this is weak.

Go big, or go home.
