I just got an email from one of my favorite designers, Athens, Georgia-based Didi Dunphy. Didi designs all manner of "indoor" playground equipment for grown-ups, including upholstered swings, rocker boards...and skateboards. Her line of "indoor skate" boards come in candy colors and are upholstered in padded vinyl and adorned with pinstripe embroidery.
Her new line of skateboards are called Sheer Skate. They're made out of sturdy trucks with large pink, seismic and alligator wheels. The decks are laser-engraved acrylic, which is designed to glow on your floor or wall, casting shadows of the designs. You're probably not going to have much luck grinding rails or tearing up the bowls at your local skateboard with these, but your house will be begging you for one soon.
