40 Spooky, Strange & Useless Skateboarding Facts 

@ShredzShop i know the location of alien workshop hq and what is in the video is not true I went to the location viewed on the video and it's a roofing business

That Marty McFly invented skateboarding

That Conan O'Brien mounts trucks on the top of a skateboard.

not really spooky BUT it is something connected to the Natas Devil Worship Deck, Eazy E used to own one and he has a picture with it posing with the deck with the griptape sliced in multiple pieces and the pentagram on top of the deck still fully visible

The red top ply since i got two decks with a red top ply for Christmas

Bro, tf?

You gain the rocks power by doing this... You might lose a tooth or crack your jaw

That'd make for a rough spring if your municipality uses gravel for snow and ice during winter.

interesting bit about Billie Joe, Jim Thiebaud (main guy at Deluxe) was a cofounder of Adeline Records with him in the late 90s as well!

Thanks for hangin' at the premiere Sebastian!! 🙏 🙌

This was a fun one to make! 🙏 🙌

I used to spend my allowance every week on buying a mag! 4 mags a month haha I read every mag front to back, my lil connection with California

When I was 11 or so I started skating and I didn't know yet which groups of kids were cool to hang out with and which weren't (yes, skating was that popular in 1998). I was kicking it with these really bad kids one day and we ate at McDonald's and then we hung out by the back of the restaurant while a couple of the kids threw pebbles at cars. One pickup truck that got hit busted a u turn and drove straight through a vacant, desert lot to pull up on us and a guy who was about 30 got out to square up with the kid who threw the rock that hit his car. Said kid was about 14 or so. The kid immediately swings his board a couple of times at the man. I remember to this day that it was a green, 8 inch, Girl Skateboards deck with a big, pink, Girl logo and matching, green Grind King trucks- I'd ridden it a couple of times to ollie my first gap and I still recall how utterly gigantic it felt compared to my 7.75, Zero deck with the three skulls and Destructo trucks. The man had managed to dodge the first couple of swings and on the next one, a big, arcing, overhead chop, he grabbed the board with both hands, yanked it out of the kid's, and cracked his skull open with one swing of his own. It happened all in one motion- him grabbing the board, using its momentum to reel it back and swing it overhead like it was a bucket full of water, and bringing it down square on top of the kid's forehead to crack it like an egg.

​@@joelglanton6531lol sometimes people get hurt. Glad it was the a-hole kid.

​@@joelglanton6531Sounds like the kid got the prize for the game he was playing.

@@PatchesOHoulihan-hi2tb He dropped out of high school to move to New York City and die of a heroin overdose

@@ShredzShop true Charlottetown stories

Nah bro, that wheel phased right through the nut. Dude's board was possessed by demons and/or aliens.

@@LiterallyCensoredDaily thank u 🙏

Damn! Give us a spooky Salem story!!

Ya I wanna hear one too

The tourists there are like a hoarde of zombies sometimes. Is that spooky enough? Lol

Hahah one of my fav weird facts ever

🙏🙏🙏glad you enjoy!!

Originally found it on a skateboarding history book called “a day with no waves”

@@ShredzShop thanks 👊🏼

I spent a week training at the Herman Miller Greenhouse in Michigan a few years back. Hearing boards brought up in the initial tour re: ply moulding techniques, was pretty rad. The irony of the process being developed for leg splints didn’t fall flat (pun unintended). Fun fact: a few of the guys in the design dept. at the time actually skate.

😝 😝

😝 😝 😝

Glad you enjoyed!! 🙏🙌

I'll skate a red top. one of my favorite boards was a Danny Way Giger alien plan b with a red top!

Haha you’re a good guy Benjamin 🤝

hahah damn, Im gonna have to look into this! Ive always been so fascinated with Simon Woodstock!

@@ShredzShop it was a trade show in around mid to late nineties and covered in Blunt magazine if that helps

Haha yea it probably was. Never even thought of that!

Thanks Jon!! Glad you enjoyed! This was a fun one!

I'd love to do a vid on Zorlac! Always been a brand I've been such a fan of.

@@ShredzShop pushead graphics!

@@ShredzShop if you do one find out what happened, surely those crazy shapes would sell. Would they be open to just selling off the brand so someone else could put out reissues. Why didn't Embassy cut a deal with Jeff Newton (or whoever owns the brand now)? Enquiring minds want to know.

@@ShredzShop also 5 min before you do the video buy a ton of old zorlac stuff and sell it 5 min after you put out the video $$$$

Glad you enjoyed it!!

🙌🙏 Glad you enjoyed the vid! The tee is from a Canadian tattoo shop on the east coast, forget what they’re called. I’ll ask Levi
