Curly Designer Skateboards – IPSVM Board is an Artistic Form of Personal Transit

IPSVM Board is an Artistic Form of Personal Transit

— January 6, 2009 — Lifestyle
This skateboard from Designer Loren Kulesus looks too artistic to be called a normal. Even the wheels on this curly and curvy board appear to have been etched with the same design that flows on the surface. Its creative design is the board’s claim to fame, and it could be very popular if it ever reached stores.

It's a very cool board and is so very different than those that we are used to seeing. Whatever the future of the board may be, for now, it’s just a design concept.
