Barnyard


A true defining moment in skateboarding. The Vallely Barnyard by World Industries was released in 1989 and was the predecessor to todays symmetrical "Popsicle stick" shapes. The Barnyard was like a big freestyle board and like Mike said "A new style of skating was coming and I wanted a board shape that represented that change. From that the Barnyard was born". This is one of a handful of shapes I would like to cut from an uncut blank today. Bring it back! Check out more of Mike's favorite shapes here.
