Brakeboard

Going fast on a longboard is fun but falling while going down hill doesn’t feel very good, nor is it fun anymore. When I was younger bombing hills was one of my favorite things to do, but if I had Brakeboard back then, I probably would’ve stuck with it. The skateboard truck with a built-in brake system has hit the nail on the head as it allows for powerful and controllable stopping and smooth speed control down steep descents, so road rash won’t be an option anymore.  The trucks are made to retrofit any skateboard or longboard and using your existing longboard wheels is also an option. A very interesting invention to say the least and I’m excited to say, this might just bring back one of our old favorite pastimes.

Skate-Home Indy Armchair

I know your loft or apartment has been lacking in the furniture area, but finding that perfect piece for your humble abode will most likely be a mission and a half. The Skate-Home Indy Armchair is here to at least check one piece off of your list. Sturdy and pretty damn clean-looking, this armchair is made from four skateboards, upholstered in leatherette and the structure is made from lacquered steel giving you reliable durability. You can pick it up in black or white leatherette but the most intriguing part of all is the ability to customize your very own with a pretty good selection of colors for the front, side, buttons and structure. It also wouldn’t hurt to check out the rest of what Skate-Home has to offer.

Currently there are three boards available – the Model A , the Pygmoid , and the Pygmy. Each board has a handmade reclaimed barn wood veneer, maple core and black/blue dye fade.
