All I can say is wow, creepy, but wow and potentially really cool.
If I boarded, I might buy one... hell, I may buy one if they ever convert the process into a pice of bike equipment.

You would buy a skateboard for no other reason than it's stained with blood and reinforced with bone fiber? What the fuck is wrong with you?

some of their other 'quality' work..

Is that site a joke or something?

Noel: I like to find wierd things like that. To me, it's cool. it's odd, it's unique, and its unusual. I like objects that look like they've been crafted with bone, I love midevil weaponry (and modern variations of classical blades), dragon statues, ect.

And you have to admit, a skateboard made of bone is pretty f'ing unusual.

miir · Post by **miir** » February 4, 2005, 2:03 pm

About as unusal as a chair made of meatloaf.... would you buy a meatloaf chair?

Look at the other shit this guy has made.. it looks like shit, the design and artwork is infantile and I'm willing to bet that it's pretty shitty quality as well.

edi: on closer inspection of their frames and bikes the workmanship looks to be pretty sad. The welding and finish are embarrasing.

Miir made the point, but I'll drive it home. You don't like the unique, you like the macabre and the horror-film inspired. There's a huge difference. Don't misrepresent yourself; you're fooling no one.

I'm gonna epoxy dead babies to my Trek. Wanna buy it too, Akaran?

Akaran_D · Post by **Akaran_D** » February 4, 2005, 3:47 pm

Oh gee, I am trying very hard to fool the people that post on a messageboard.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Unique, strange, macrabre; I find those things cool. I'm not trying to force my likes or dislikes down your throat; I saw soemthing, thought it was nifty in principle, and posted it for the enjoyment, entertainment or ridicule of others.

I present myself as who I am, which is a person who is not like you.

miir · Post by **miir** » February 4, 2005, 3:53 pm

So Akaran, would you buy a meatloaf chair?

Lohrno · Post by **Lohrno** » February 4, 2005, 3:54 pm

I think it's cool!

Not sure how they are functionally. I want more pics.

From reading the website, I don't think they have actually ever made one... either that or it looked so ass that they are too embarrased to post a picture of it.

Akaran_D · Post by **Akaran_D** » February 4, 2005, 4:00 pm

Probably not Miir.
Can you imagine how bad that would STINK after a couple days?

Now, I'd buy something like this:

...because it's cool, unique, and unusual.

Perhaps. I still want to see a pic of them.

Nah. The stink is a result of bacteria doing their work. If disinfected, and properly sealed with laquer, it would be okay.

Looks far too heavy to be useful.

eh, true.
Waste of foodstuffs tho. And I love meatloaf. =p

I'll bleed on anyone's skateboard for ten bucks (you pay shipping costs).

What IS that? A boat anchor with wheels?

Now, a Colnago President is my idea of cool, unique and unusual

(also a cool $8000)

It's a hydrogen powered fuel cell bike. Was in Wired/Pop-Sci a couple years back. Can do around 30-40mph when activated if needed to get an extra boost of speed or just to take over for you if you get too tired to pedal on a long trip.

Very nifty.

noel · Post by **noel** » February 4, 2005, 5:32 pm

Those frames are by far the most intricately detailed, beautiful things in the entire cycling industry. The abuse they take in the classics is enough to bring a tear to my eye.

Is Nair flammable?

Akaran uses Nair, I use the Mach 3.
