If you’ve picked up more than one skateboard over the last handful of decades, you’ve probably noticed they’ve undergone a good bit of transformation in their time. A Very Loose History of Skateboard Shapes is a visual journey through the history of the deck. Joe Pease brings a colorful, well composed lesson to your computer in this two part series. (You can watch Part Two here.) From banana boards to the poorly designed Misfits skateboard of the late ’80s, this video will deliver a dose of nostalgia to any aging skater. It’s worth the quick watch if you’ve ever even attempted an ollie.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
