Apparatu FTC has created a collection of artistic skateboards that showcase the strength of skateboards when they are beaten up from use. The Apparatu FTC collection shows just how the decks would look if they weren't so durable.
The Apparatu FTC collection comprises a series of ceramic skate decks that represent various stages of destruction. Skaters ride and cruise on them, do tricks on them, slipping and sliding everywhere to the point where they get banged up or actually break.
