Avenue Releases Limited Edition Original School Skateboards

Avenue Board Shop Releases the Original School Skateboards

Back in the late 60’s and early 70’s skateboards were made from 1 piece carved chunk of wood instead of the layered 7 to 8 plywood they use today for the modern skateboards. Avenue Board Shop from Fountain Valley, CA decided to release 50 limited edition skateboards that were fashioned from the original school era. The decks are made from 1 piece of oak wood; hand carved and sanded. The raw wood deck was branded by hand to give each deck a unique look. It has been stained twice, sanded twice, and then coated. The design on the board is of Andy Warhol’s banana art. The artwork is manually silk screened, so each board is 100% handmade. To go with the board, Avenue decided to use original reissue Trucker trucks and Tunnel Wheels for that true school flavor. A few old school skateboards are out in the market today, but the difference is that these Avenue skateboards are the real things, and hand made like the real originals.
