Broken skateboards are a byproduct of our culture usually destined for the landfill. The pieces featured below recycles this waste into unique, high quality piece of furniture. The scrapes and scars on the decks create beautiful patterns over the original skateboard artwork.

The Skateboard Stool

Harumaki and Hirosher are two Japanese artists who use broken decks, wheels, and other skating goodies to create unique art. After buying deck after deck, watching what seemed to be a never-ending pile of broken skateboards continue to grow in their room, the two decided to use their creative thinking to build some accessories.

That same creative thinking has led to worldwide recognition of their unique art. Together they are known as Hiroshi, and this piece below shows their truly imaginative work.

Many say the eighties were the glory days for skateboarding. I can’t argue as far as the deck art and cool factor go. Just in case you forgot, we rounded up an astounding collection of 80’s skate decks to refresh your memory…

Ok so the skating militia is plastic army men and the weapons are a rocking techno grenade plus a cool tribal knife. So maybe it’s not the end of the world with Mad Max skate punks roving the scorched earth but still… This stuff is just damn cool!

So the Idea is Plastic Army men + Fingerboard = UBERWARRIOR!!!

Possibly the Sickest Knife Art Ever Attached to a Skate Theme

At the Ride Shakedown 2010 snowboard contest at Mont Saint-Sauveur in Quebec, Canada a bunch of the snowboarders pulled out their skateboards during halftime and took a few runs on the double kinked rail. Lots of good slams on this video.

No Smoking Skateboards

Anyone who was into skateboarding in the 1980s remembers the unintentionally funny Skatevisions video for Vision and Sims skateboards. Agent Orange was omnipresent back then. They were the soundtrack for this video as well as for a generation of skate punks. The Orange County power-trio gave birth to a sound that blended Surf with Heavy Metal and Power Pop. The guitar lead for their Skate Punk anthem “Blood Stains” was even ripped off by The Offspring on the chart-topping “Come out and Play.” Although they haven’t released anything since 1996′s Virtually Indestructible, Agent Orange continue to play the club circuit.

In a world where most skateboard photographers are looking for the action shot to sell to their magazine of choice, we thought some different images of just the skateboard itself or an image with part of the skaters body would be a different approach. This post is simply called “Images Of Skateboards“.
