Skateboarding is all about attitude and punk rock, which is exactly what the Balabaushka Remnants ‘F*CK’ [Skateboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-flips) represents for those who skate with attitude.

The Balabaushka Remnants ‘F*CK’ Skateboard has the Japanese fashion brand branching out into the world of extreme sports with this [unapologetic skate deck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-skateboard-deck). As the name suggests, the embedded graphics all have to do with the one word many people have spoken in various contexts that are both appropriate and inappropriate. The back of the board takes on an Andy Warhol multi-print art feel, only instead of an image of [Campbell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campbells-chunky-frozen-bowls)’s Soup, the one finger salute greets anyone who lays their eyes on it. The top of the board features the same image, but smaller with more of a stencil aesthetic.
