Flip Skateboards x Arto Saari [2004]

Recently bought this deck off an online seller who clearly did not know what she had and the price was too good to pass up. Released in [my] glory days of skateboarding in 2004, this Flip Skateboards Arto Saari deck is in amazing condition. Over the years, he has always been one my favourites, and was very lucky to come across a few more things related to him.

This past spring/summer, I took an hour drive out west to pick up a lot of skateboard DVDs. Not sure what the seller's history was, but he had some major gems. One was this Quiksilver promo signed by Arto Saari himself.

Take away the board, take away the signature, nothing will live up to when I met the 2001 Thrasher Skater of the Year on my way to work in Toronto about five years ago.

The video part that started it all; éS Footwear: Menikmati from 2000.
