Home Away From Home: A Skate-Inspired Hotel Suite
Skateboard label Etnies is rolling into the world of hospitality. The California-based brand has designed a skate-inspired hotel suite in Laguna Beach's Casa del Camino. But you won't find any Etnies logo monogrammed sheets here.
Grind It! Skateboard Shaped Flash Drive
Skateboarding geeks unite; first you could bring the geek to your deck, now go the opposite route and put the memory in a deck with a 2GB SkateDrive ($22).
It combines the desktop convenience of a finger board with the memory of a thumb drive — your hands will be happy and your hobbies combined.
Love It or Hate It? Shred Bed
Pro skater Chad Knight has made his bed, and now he's gonna profit from it. His Shred Bed (inquire for price) features a headboard and footboard made of skateboards. It seems like skateboards are everywhere in the design world these days (see here and here).
Would You Put Skateboard Steps in Your House?
At one point in my life, this would be a no-brainer for me. Back when all of my boyfriends (and myself, too) hung out on skateboards and in skateboard parks, this would've been a perfect addition to our homes. Can you see any room for it in yours?
Girl Skateboard Epitomizes iPhone + Skating Nightmare
My BF is a skateboarding and gadget geek, and paging through one of his catalog's the other day, I couldn't believe how cool this Biebel deck was — not to mention how awesomely representative it is of being a skateboarding and gadget geek!
No, no one ever wants to see a cracked iPhone, but I can't help but think that it would be a badge of honor to a skateboarder (albeit a very expensive badge of honor). The deck's maker, Girl, also has extra cred: one of the founders is the crazy talented Spike Jonze!
Cool Idea: Subhead Anti-Slip Stickers
Subhead Anti-Slip Stickers ($12 for four) are subhead grips, originally designed for skateboards, die-cut into anti-slip stickers. They're easy to apply on fiberglass, wood, metal, tile, and other smooth surfaces. Their fun design choices include a star, anchor, whale, fish, skull, and fleur de lis, and take the granny out of not falling.
How Would You . . .
Since I've got skateboard-inspired furniture on my mind, I figured I'd ask you to turn a basic skateboard into furniture or décor in your home. Your furniture vision can include as many skateboards as you like, so long as they're the main attraction. For inspiration, check out this skateboard turned art (fifth photo down), and see PBteen's collection of skateboard wheel finials, as well as the skateboard row of hooks and the shelf below.
The Internet Cutie Strike
To support the Hollywood writers, all the piano-playing felines, skateboarding canines, hand-holding otters, and dramatic chipmunks across the net have quit their antics and gone on strike, too. They won't showcase their skillz, and even worse, they've cut the drama. All joy is on hold.
World's Youngest Skater, Dude!
This babe's still in diapers and he's got enough balance to hold his own on a skateboard? I'm impressed. This 16-month-old has mastered the skills of balancing, squatting and jumping.
Skater Dog Knows How To Roll
We thought we'd seen it all when we watched this bulldog take his skateboard for a spin, but no-- there's more. The following dog has stepped up the competition. Literally.
