Off Road Boarding Duo Undoubtedly Powered By Broken Bones And Adrenaline

Scarpar is an off-road skateboard we’ve seen before as a concept and is now available for pre-order. The DTV Shredder, which is being eyed by the military, is a new one for me. Both would be the end of me.

Kickflip With A Recycled $US200 Skateboard Deck iPhone Case

There are just five of Grove + MapleXO’s skateboard deck iPhone 4 cases left, of the ultra-limited edition 50-piece range. Made over the course of a year, 300 skateboards were slices and sanded-down into layered strips and constructed into cases. Pretty tricky craftsmanship, to say the least.

I’m sure that I would break all my legs and arms if I ride one of these Tron Skatecycles. However, it’s so blueblazingly neat that I’m tempted to order one. Too bad it’s a one of a kind.
