The designer/craftsman himself Bear Walker shares how he builds Hollywood’s most collected skateboards.
As announced on COMICBOOK today, Bear will debut the official cruiser for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem! This Mutant Mayhem x Bear Walker skate deck is handcrafted in the USA and utilizes official movie artwork in collaboration with Bear Walker and Paramount Pictures. Debuting at Comic-Con, the top of the board features a carved-out design for grip and is accompanied with premium packaging and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
Bear Walker has become a legend as a famed skateboard artist & craftsman, with his work featured in HypeBeast, The New York Times, & Forbes to name a few.
Bear is featured this year at San Diego’s Comic-Con where he will reveal all-new custom boards and have fans take a glimpse behind-the-scenes of one of the most beloved custom skateboard makers in the world.
Bear collaborates with the biggest names in comics, video games, and Hollywood to get unheard-of licensing deals. Marvel recently tapped Bear Walker for a limited-edition set of Spider-Man skateboards. Bear has designed skateboards for Black Panther, Iron Man, The Hulk, Wolverine, and Pokémon.
These premium collector items are unique in their complete lack of grip tape (the only councils in the world to offer this.) Instead of grip tape, the wood and character design are carved for ultimate traction and a statement design. As a result, each board is truly one of a kind.
This Gamer/Comic/Sci-Fi/Horror fanatic & famed designer is changing the face of skateboarding and pushing it into the future with his one-of-a-kind wood-carved grips making his skateboards into rideable works of art. In addition, the company plants one tree for every board sold.
