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?

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!

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. 
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.
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. 
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. 
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. 
Hold up. What the hell is this? When I last checked, skateboarding was the sport of hard knocks, not some gliding, spinning, artistic release. 
These skater boys never seem afraid to try new, potentially dangerous tricks. Even when they fall, they get back up to subject themselves to the torture all over again. What kind of dumbass ethic is that? 
From stair gliding to wave riding, Extreme Pete shows some smooth moves on his board. He's out to make this reporter feel like a walking (or falling?) embarrassment.
