Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Skateboard Deck
A humorous depiction of a potato as a satellite dubbed "Spudnik-1," with forks serving as antenna, in orbit around the earth. I have met people who do not believe Idaho is a real place. Others know it it is somewhere in flyover territory, but can not place it any better - "Isn't that somewhere near Nebraska?" Mostly, people just think it is a backward place. Not true! Idaho has a space program and placed a satellite in orbit. The scientists and engineers at the Idaho Space Authority dubbed it the Idaho Geosynchronous Agriculture and Forest Fire Observation Tuber, or IGAFFOT for short. IGAFFOT does not exactly roll off the tongue so the governor sponsored a satellite naming contest among the state's elementary school students. There were a number of suggestion including Tater Tot, but almost 99 percent of the students suggested Spudnik; and so it was. During a television interview the director of the Idaho Space Authority explained that potatoes make wonderful observation platforms as they can be mass-produced locally and generally have several eyes. In addition, when the orbit decays the tuber is re-entry baked by friction with the atmosphere. All you need if you find one of these satellites after it comes down is butter, salt and pepper; with maybe a bit of sour cream.

I was surprised by just how great this board is. Very smooth ride. Perfect. The design has a lot of details and they all came through.

It's a new deck so it had no flaws it was a bit thick though the plies would be a thinner but it's fine as a starter board. The print came out a little stretched and the color was swapped kinda
The light greens where swapped with white same goes for some of the light blues but overall it was cool

Amazing board quality, looks great and feels great! Arrived on time and might order another board soon. Also makes a great gift for skaters who love Japanese culture. The quality and color is awesome. Looks pretty good in person.
