Breathe New Life Into Old Crap - Upcycle!
Friday, July 27, 2012 at 2:08PM So here's a scenario. You and your friends are out at the local skatepark. In an attempt to either a. make your friends giggle or b. show off your rad skills, you give a 360 hardflip a try, totally landing on your ass and in the process your board breaks in half.
You could cry - but why? Instead, come up with a creative way to UPCYCLE that broken board. In case you don't know, upcycling is to reuse an object or materials to create a product of higher value or quality than the original object or materials (dictionary definition!). But upcycling doesn't just apply to broken boards. Check out these awesome objects that other creative types have fashioned out of old wetsuits, board resin, skateboard wheels and boards. You won't believe it.
So next time - don't throw it away! Make something incredible!
