You asked for it, you got it! Will It Skate Episode 3, Apple Keyboard Edition :) Thankfully for us, the one we had was an old school keyboard, really rigid plastic frame, only thing that made it a little strange was it only had concave on one side so you were always kinda riding on a wedge. Debated cutting the cord, but it was way more fun an deadly with it either in hand or dragging behind the setup. This was the best object turned skateboard so far! felt a bit like one a those Stereo Vinyl cruisers, and tricks aplenty went down. If the thing can handle a full fledged Miller Flip, sky’s the limit! Look for these Key Boards in your local skate shop soon!

You’re supposed to drink beer and THEN become uncoordinated right??? Well for this edition of Will It Skate, the opposite held true. two stone cold sober skateboarders attempt a few spine transfers on an 18 pack of Budweiser Board, and come up a dollar short like all those tail end o the party liquor store runs. We had to race against a rapidly getting soggier cardboard container, and in the end even wrapping it in griptape and duct taping all corners couldn’t make this case of beer skate! Sorry guys, when you can’t even muster a drop in on a mellow bank, you gotta admit its all over but the cryin ….but at the end at least we had some cold fizzy beer to do our cryin in :)

Ever look at an everyday object and wonder just how the heck it’d skate? …Me neither, but Metro wanted to do another show to try an entertain you and this is the best we could come up with :) Welcome to “Will It Skate”? Episode 1. In this installment Chris Ratface Jatoft and Jason Ross try an turn a run of the mill patio brick from Home Depot into a full fledged skateboard! Try fitting both feet on an 8 inch surface area, then imagine it with some swiss bearings and Spitfire 54’s and you can probably guess a how difficult it was to skate that little rectangular death trap! Ratface even attempting to drop in on that thing was lunatic fringe typa shit. All of us had our fair share of bails and fails, but these two troopers managed to pull it out so our first WIS episode didn’t have to end on a down note. Roll In, Hippie Jump and Rock Fakie all went down and when the brick dust cleared, we had a verdict. IT SKATES!
