Broken Skates

Upcycling and repurposing , the process by which people create new items from discarded objects, is pretty big now.

Whether it’s because of financial constraint, or simply having unique looking objects around your home, everybody appears to be at it.

Of course, what happens in mainstream society is mirrored in action sports. Many a broken board or ski has been repurposed into a household object recently. We have a look at the best uses for old action sport stuff.
