Well dang, I just passed the 60 year mark and so it seems like the appropriate time to reissue the 1995 classic Olde Fart board. In 1995 at 30-ish years old we were feeling like old farts with technical skateboarding progressing at breakneck speed and what we were doing was so uncool.
Laban and I had recently launched Invisible so I took the opportunity to turn Blockhead into perhaps the first “Old School” company making wider boards and bigger wheels at a time when you couldn’t find a board over 7.5” or wheels over 48mm.
We were dinosaurs but we embraced it to keep things fun at a time when skateboarding was trying to push us out….but here we are and we’re still pushing forward!
Thanks for the support!
