Here’s some new about the Ripper Skateboard Art show you will enjoy.
On January 23rd, 2009, Powell-Peralta hosted the Rip the Ripper Art Show. Fifty eight artists had pieces on display. The reason for the show was to celebrate The Ripper graphic. So many skaters and artists have been influenced by VCJ’s image over the years, we wanted to do something that would pay respect to VCJ and get skaters stoked. We invited a group of artists and asked them to interpret The Ripper in their own style. Curator: Désirée Astorga

Well, this should officially be a “longboard” but heck it doesn’t matter. Here’s a propeller-powered skateboard. (or um longboard)
Skateboarding gets more exciting as I strap a model airplane engine to the end of a skateboard.
I had a great time with this project. It was rather easy to put together and a whole lot of fun to test. I look forward to playing with it more and may update the video with more antics in the future.

Well, I don’t speak good enough German to understand what David Benedek is saying here but BagJump looks like a lot of fun.
