Kaya, of Comet Skateboards just sent us these rad images of the almost-finished, new Wheelbase/Comet Challenge board. Hooty, hoo! We are so freakin’ stoked right now!
The board’s shape was designed by Byron Essert and various others of the Comet squad, and the tripodelic “diamond eyes” graphics was chosen directly by the skate community via facebook and was created by Argentinian artist, Antonella Eva Morelli. These exclusive new decks are set to be completed and shipped to select dealers (Rip City Skate, Muir Skates, Switchbacks, Comet, and Wheelbase) soon, soon, soon. Stay tuned for the official release date of this community collaboration of 100 hand-numbered, limited-edition downhill skateboards. A super-huge shout-out goes to the supporting sponsors: Caliber Trucks & Divine Wheels. Dopeness!
What are the specs again? Looks SAF!
So so sweeeet!
And delicious! I need to get that tasty board!

Heck yeah! As soon as we have them in-hand we will get yours out to ya ASAP. We’ll be hitting you up today anyway about some other radness as well. The board looks so sick — great work!

So are there only 100 made?
Yes indeed. This is a limited edition board and there will be only 100 made. If ya want one you’re gonna have to be quick on the draw. The release date will be announced real soon. Peace.
Looks reallllly nice!! Gonna have to attempt to get one of these
Oh, heck yeah! This board is definitely dope. One of the best downhill boards we’ve ridden.
The boards have arrived at Rip City Skate and are looking incredible. We should have them up on the site later today!
Very cool!
Would this board be good for me? I’m 5 feet tall and like 90 somethin pounds and I like to do fast freeride and some DH but mostly just freeride.
Oh yeas it is. This board is designed for the rider that’s ready for speed, kick out some tasty sliders and do it all with style. This is a stiff board so it will be good for any rider up to 230lbs. You are golden! Hurry ’cause supplies will not last.
