I'm going to enter this contest.

Its called "Hack job." Its being put on by booooooom who has teamed up with Converse shoes.

to create skateboards out of anything that you can get your hands on. This project is open to anyone in any country: skateboarders, non-skateboarders, art students, strippers, cheerleaders, world leaders, gas station attendants, hobbits, and gnomes.

Here’s what you gotta do:

1. Locate some building materials. Keep in mind your skateboard can be functional or totally non-functional. This means you could use wood, but you could also use pancakes, or human hair!

2. Build a skateboard out of your materials.

3. Snap a photo of your amazing creation. If it is ride-able, shoot a video of yourself riding it! (Jump to the :30 mark of this amazing video to see an electric guitar turned into a skateboard!!!)

4. E-mail your photo and/or a youtube link to: submit@booooooom.comwith “Hack Job” in the subject line.

5. High-five yourself.

There will be an online gallery, and as a little bonus, my friends atConverse will give away shoes to the 5 most creative submissions!

Deadline for submissions: September 10th 2010.




I'm going over some ideas right now.
