Product Description: You know what I hate? Know-it-alls. You know, geeks. I know that you know what geeks are, because you’re all geeks. Know thyself. Geeks collect things, hoarding objects, nerds love learning and sharing ideas. As a nerd, I’m not outright saying that I hate you, but I am saying that I hate what you represent.
Filthy collector trash.
Reading the top of this board.
Before you hang it on your (mothers basement) wall.
For shame.
Here’s something else you should know: that this graphic was originally based on a short-lived-but-semi-popular-and-now-extinct Instagram account, vectored through a Winnie the Pooh story, SMA Rocco Division, 3-D skateboards, and a heavy dose of nerdy nostalgia from 2018. It was a cool time, for me. Strangelove gave me a bro model. For Instagram! But now it’s like I’m Ray “Bones” Rodriguez seeing his former pro model emblem turn into a best-selling graphic for which he received no financial compensation. If your peel back the layers of nerdy skate history, all of which should add much-fetishized pedigree to your geeky manic habits, there is a story as old as time itself: a childhood love being commodified through skateboarding and ending up on the bottom of a skateboard. And maybe that means something to you geeks. Or maybe you’re just collecting it because it’s a Sean Cliver deck, which is a fine reason to buy this board. I don’t really mind, because the only thing I hate more than geeks is the Grateful Dead. —Ted Barrow - Warning: Since the dawn of mankind, top and bottom stain veneers come in a variety of colors and the ones shown here are for display purposes only.
