SKATEBOARD RECYCLE PROJECT - ST.SVITHUN SCHOOL

Lena Skaar Storseth that we collaborate with regarding the SHIT JEWELRY is also a wonderful teacher at St.Svithun school downtown Stavanger. And for a while ago she started on a project were she involved SHIT JEWELRY that she is a big part of, and us at SHIT, and they had a class were the project was to come up with recycled products out of skateboard decks that our Team skaters Mentzoni, Tonnesen, Ellingsen and Kim P had worn out.

The products was on display and for sale during an auction for a project to collect money to poor people in poor contries.

The outcome of the project is amazing. I am super proud to inspire these "kiddoes", and trigger them to come up with products that they came up with...

A nice Belt bucle...

A CD Rack.

A smart deck display.

Sunglasses made of a used skateboard! How wild is that!?? :)

Assorted key-rings.

A bunch of nice neclesses...

SHIT RULES!! No doubt!!! Rulers made of skateboards!!! Cool!

Slingshot!!! What??? This is my personal favourite!!! :D

This is just a selection of all the cool products that the class came up with. If you got a good idea, just don't sit there! Get on it! Make it!!! ...And send us a pic! Will launch it for sure! ;)

Here is a part of the creative crew together with Lena and me. The local TV was also at present and made a story that got broadcasted. This will come out here or on shittm.com soon!

Thanks a lot and high-5 to all joining this project! You rock the world for shure! I am super impressed and stoked!

A special thanks also to Arvid, Lena and my homie ol pal Steffen C.S. Storseth aka TMC represent (he joined the class helping with bits and pieces). :D

THE SECRET "SHIT SK8 TROLL" EXPOSED

Our product development is a continous ride were new items pop up randomly. Some good that goes to life, and some not so good that never gets published or is changed or just published in future when the time is right. But this new SHIT SK8 TROLL got fame and got exposed long time before it was planned.

It is a true Norwegian souvenir - but with a little twist - our twist; A skateboard and a SHIT singlet.

These SHIT SK8 TROLLS will be available in shops and online hopefully before X-mas. So pay attention in close future.

The SHIT SK8 TROLL exposed in a video on tacky.no regarding Norwegian Skateboarding Championship faces - and it is named FRODE GOA! Hehehe! :)

GREAT MEETING

For nearly two years ago the brilliant idea about using the iconish MARIUS sweater pattern on skateboards and T-shirt randomly popped up. And late last year everything was settled and I got both T's and decks in production.

It is Vigdis who owns the pattern. She took over from her mom, that knitted a sweater back in late 40's. And was worn by the slalom athlete and model Marius as the sweather got its name from.

It was (and always are) of my intention to do things the right way. And I am super happy that Vigdis got all stoked and excited about my idea when we first spoke by phone. I was thrilled and the ball started rolling.

Recently Vigdis visited me in the Oslo shop, and she was amazed about the interior of the shop.

Here's a nice pic of two heads doing the right thing - and doing it the right way! Heads up!

I am super stoked about heaving the MARIUS pattern in the lineup. Thanks Vigdis for the cool collab! :)
