Hello – The Typographic Skateboard from Buddy Carr

Hello – The Typographic Skateboard from Buddy Carr

I have been eagerly awaiting this awesome beast since I first saw the initial posts about it on Aisle One some time ago. For heavens sake, a typographic skateboard! This is just as good as it get’s for a typo fiend such as myself.

I am bit of a outside type (sort of pun intended) of person, and do own a rather nice Lush Long Board Skateboard. I can sometimes been seen cruising up and down the promenade been pulled along by my trust hound, Dylan. I know that’s not the point of a skateboard, as in you are generally meant to skate them as such. Which I do do from time to time, but when you have a willing hound, it’s hard not to pass up on a free ride.

My Lush board is pretty long and comfy, and bloody fast, so it’s nice just zooming past all the oldies.

A Potential Giveaway

So I have ordered one of these beasts, but the chances are I will be offering up as a giveaway prize as I cannot really justify keeping it, since I already have a cool board already. So keep your eye’s open on my blog for a potential Buddy Carr Typographic Skateboard Giveaway. Or failing that, go and order one yourself.

However it is a Limited Edition release, so get ya skates on. (Another poor pun slightly intended.)

They are being sold for $160 plus shipping.

Head over to the official site now for the complete low down on this beauty. The photo gallery is just mouth watering.

      LOL. Somehow I just had this niggling idea you would fancy this.

      All depends if I can keep my hands off it when it turns up, feel it will be a challenge of the highest order.

    Two things I love, wrapped into one? This is a must have. Thanks.

    • Graham Smith says:

      The price is actually very reasonable. Given the lengths people who crave skating and or crave typography will go to.

      It’s an awesome clean design and is a stand out board.

      $160 or so is a very reasonable price for what will surely be a most wanted gift. I was expecting a higher price than that, so hats off to them for not getting too greedy.

  3. I’m never too “board” to go for a contest
