Limited Edition Banzai Skateboards Pair an Iconic Design with Artistic Prints
Limited edition iconic skateboards with signed art prints by David Carson, Jay Nelson, Nathaniel Russell, Todd Glaser, and Cole Barash.
Anyone with an inkling about skateboard history will recognize the 1970s-era tear-dropped shape of the Banzai skateboard. Made to look as fast as its sidewalk surfing purpose, the iconic design is being revived and revamped as a limited edition set, featuring an anodized and hand-brushed aluminum deck and a few accouterments intended to capture the attention of skateboard aficionados.
Celebrating their 43rd anniversary, the Banzai reissue is represented in five colors and in two sizes. With just 50 boards allotted per color and size, these skateboards will be temping for the collector ? definitely more of a keepsake for display than your daily ride and grind. Each Banzai comes equipped with double kicktails, 85a soft 59mm urethane wheels, ceramic bearings, lightweight X-caliber trucks, and stainless mounting parts.
But what makes these special editions worthy of a collector’s attention are the extras, with individual components inset into its own high-grade collector?s box, and the inclusion of signed artist prints commemorating the art and artistry of skating by the likes of designers/artists such as David Carson (Ray Gun, represent!), Jay Nelson, Nathaniel Russell, Todd Glaser, and Cole Barash.
Cole Barash lends his art for the Sienna edition.
