Great designs – Skateboards

I really like this post by 37 Signals for a couple of reasons. Firstly I have always been a fan of just how cool Skateboard deck designs are especially old school Tony Hawk and Chocolate. I use to love riding my skateboard as a kid and thought those decks were like a piece of art and probably couldn’t ride it in case it got scratched. Secondly you have to admire 37 Signals for thinking way outside the box and drawing on all areas of life such as the skateboarding culture and bringing that back into the work place. What a way to really open up the minds of your staff, to stop thinking in their business as usual minds and take in other elements fueling creativity and inspiration. Nice job.

Here is the deck Jamie presented Summary of Skateboard Design

By the way this video of Ray Barbee is very cool, even the sound track is cool. I hope some day my little man Josh has a go at Skateboarding, hey I’ll probably join him for a cruise down the street.
