HiHi SuperForesters!

Check out this gem of a collaboration between the wonderful Olafur Eliasson (he of the NYC waterfalls, the Weather Project and many more fascinating artworks) and Mekanism Skateboards:

Eliasson asked Mekanism to produce a special 13 ply deck (rather than the usual seven) to enable him to rework the surface into a 3D pattern that was then coated with a mirror surface.

Shiny! Pretty! And just a little bit futuristic Marty McFly!
