Those iconic handmade wooden crate and roller-skate-bottom scooters from the Great Depression have been retooled and re-imagined to form the fierce-looking Skate Crate , hopefully coming soon to a sidewalk near you. At least if you ask o…
Summer may be winding down, but that doesn't mean kids will be hanging up their scooters anytime soon. In some neighborhoods, we're even scooting to school and hopefully safely. Our partner Micro Kickboard (we love them so much!) is a br…
