The last couple of days there has been increased activity in my brain, in particular on the crafty side. Cunning and creative.
Yesterday I was thinking buttons.
Now more on the board:
Take the virtual tour of the Skates Online Skateboard Museum
The new banner for So Misguided is of a rare 1930s scooter skateboard hybrid. Begone butterfly from the template.
I like the skateboard because it is red and I don’t have to change the template colours yet. I like that it is a rare skateboard, everyone knows the Roller Derby. There’s a social misfit or cultural icon element to skateboarding that I find interesting. If you could say “so misguided” about anything skateboarding is definitely it. I don’t skateboard but I’m drawn like a magnet to the logos and board designs.
Now if you’re going to link buttons to skateboards, here’s my segway. Check out PD’s Hot Shop on 4th Ave. in Vancouver. Or go to the website.

For sure there is a button quote there. Check out the whole site. “We are anti-technology which means no credit carrds, no interwack or debit shit.”

Quote: Thirties – Scooter Skate
The rare 1930’s scooter skate was a skateboard / scooter hybrid which was designed with a quick change single bolt adjustment allowing the user to roll it as a scotter with the handle or as a skate without it. This was a three-wheel design with steel roller skate style wheels and no turning or steering mechanism. The bulbous rocket ship style 6 1/2″ x 13″ deck was stamped out of metal and finished in a vibrant red. This particular design showed patent pending makr, although it’s unclear whether the final patent was granted. Skating then involved pushing down a hill and hoping that you made it to the bottom … this must have been a noisy, adrenaline stirring, rough ride.
