The Premier Store Turns Recycled Skateboards Into Dice

In a perfect example of reduce, re-use, recycle, The Premier Shop takes a recycled skateboard and turns it into dice. Instead of over-the-hill skateboard decks piling up in some dump after their 15 minutes of fame, they are cut into small pieces and bonded together in cube form to create these interesting dice.
The idea of a recycled skateboard turning into another youthful recreational activity is almost perfect. When you add in the fact that the proceeds from this product all go towards the Celemente Skatepark Foundation, it makes total sense. Celemente Skatepark Foundation is an organization formed with the goal of building the first free skatepark in Grand Rapids Michigan.
The recycled skateboard dice come in sets of two for $10 or three for $15 and are all hand made.
