For skateboarders by skateboarders. The current decks are limited and there is only one of each.
"I’ve always been conflicted with the idea of manufacturing expression. When should I feel that the sincerity has been compromised? Often I go back to Justice Potter Stewart’s rationale that, “I know it when I see it.†A pop star sitting on a skateboard, poolside in designer clothes in some glossy fashion magazine just doesn’t seem right. An activity full of self-expression in an “industry†reliant on corporate sponsors doesn’t seem right. Sitting around and doing nothing just didn’t seem right.Defend SkateboardsWe hope to raise awareness with this project, and we are going to be sincere while doing it. This one’s for you, little kid skating down the street at 7 a.m. We hope to show the side of skateboarding that is honest, d.i.y, and accessible. Stay tuned because this is a growing project and we’re going to be updating the site with many more details.What’s in it for you?!You get art, and you get to keep a little bit of that hard earned money (from the fucking man) in your pocket. Each board has been painted individually (for now – so get these first decks while you can).Stay tuned, because we’re here to defend against plastic corporations, apathy, and most importantly to Defend Skateboards."
