Chocolate Skateboards: Justin Eldridge Hand Signs Deck
Justin Eldridge's Chocolate Skateboards Hand Signs Deck features the "shaka" sign--YEAH! The "shaka" sign is a common greeting gesture. It is often associated with Hawaii. Hawaiian locals use the shaka for various meanings, like "all right", "cool", "smooth", etc. Residents of states other than Hawaii who use the shaka may describe it as meaning "hang loose" and in California, the symbol itself is more commonly called the "hang loose" sign rather than the "Shaka" sign. It is also used to convey what locals in Hawai'i call the "Aloha Spirit," a gesture of friendship and understanding between the various ethnic cultures that reside within Hawai'i. It can also be used to signal a "hello", "goodbye", " 'till next time", "take care", "Alright!" In sign language, the shaka is one of the two signs used to refer to surfing. Oh and the shaka sign resembles the American Sign Language letter for "Y".

wacky and fun, this is a longboard deck covered with shag carpeting and van art that can be used as home decor- a mobile little shelf. I love the hair pic tucked into the carpet!

These skateboards, made by artist/designer Corbus, are little pieces of art on wheels. Made of aluminum, they are the same weight as traditional wooden long-boards so they perform as well, but are designed silhouettes in the shape of fishbones, skeletons, gas masks. dragons, seahorse and more. Right now, "fishbones" and "seahorse" are for sale (allow a few weeks for delivery because each board is are handmade). And a slew of wood ones are just around the corner and coming soon! I can't wait to see them!

These are great to look at and I can only imagine they are equally fun to use. But at $550 each, I may just keep them as indoor design. But what a fun way to scoot around the house!

Totally cool looking deck with a ...skull, of course. Just remember to wear a helmet to preserve your own skull.

This is the killer deck, makes me wonder if there will be a Roy Lichtenstein or Helmut Newton skateboard line.

With all the skateboard deck art being made today, it's exciting to see a slightly different take.

I don't know, I actually think it's really ugly. However, it just works. Like, on a totally weird and like nothing else I've ever seen on a skate deck kind of way.

I picked this one out because of it's aggressive graphic style. Plus that green hair, yellow lipstick on dark orange skin color combination would look perfect hanging on the wall of my treehouse.

Marc Johnson's Chocolate Skateboard Hand Signs Deck has origins that go back to old historic texts. It is identified as the digitus impudicus (impudent finger) in Ancient Roman writings and reference is made to using the finger in ancient Greek comedy to insult another person. The widespread usage of the finger in many cultures is likely due to the geographical influence of the Roman Empire and Greco-Roman civilization. Another possible origin of this gesture can be found in the first-century Mediterranean world, where extending the digitus impudicus was one of many methods used to divert the ever present threat of the evil eye Yo, Dude!

Okay! Anthony Pappalardo's Chocolate Skateboards Hand Signs Deck seems o.k. but while the gesture is positive in some countries, in certain parts of middle and southern Europe (although not in Spain) the gesture is considered offensive, as in you are a zero or you are nothing. In some Mediterranean countries, as well as in Brazil, it represents vulgar expressions: either an insult (you are an asshole), or the slang for anus itself. In Brazil it can either mean okay or up yours! if the palm of the hand is faced to the performer, especially the performer's torso. In American Sign Language, it is the letter F, or the number 9
