U do da ollies? Don’t run this one into the glass window. It’ll say hi real sharp-like. On the underside of this board is the world hello. Hello in basically 10 different languages – set nicely in perfectly clear type. The wheels attached have an inverse design, white and red lettering on black on white. Neue-age retro body with single kick (and sharp nose,) and a laser-etched hello carved in the grip tape on top. Aloha!
Say hi to Hello.
The fun and functional all purpose skateboard.
Built around the simple idea that form follows function, Hello is not just another skateboard wrapped in a pretty package. Hello has been well thought out and designed for getting everyday skaters around the local campus, onto the board walk for surf checks and for casual rides at the local skate park. Hello’s smaller deck size allows it to store easily in lockers, under desks or small spaces. It’s softer wheels provide good grip, while also absorbing the bumps along the road. The trucks, with their ultra turning geometry and high rebound urethane bushings, allow for quicker turns, all of which add up to a fun and highly enjoyable ride.

For a bit more info, flip your clicks right to Buddy Carr Skateboards and rummage around! The design reminds a fellow of some Experimental Jetset business, don’t it? In fact, this is along the lines of a Milk discovery – fits right in there! It also fits right in the typography category as well as the ever-elusive Pizza Party category.
Type on pizza! I gotta find that.
Props to fellow junky and former fellow classmate of mine Dylan Lathrop for the tip! You simply must see his extensive online works at the once and future pizza party of graphic design self-brand-name sites http://unequal-design.com/. Do it!
