About
The Skateboard Wheel was the sole product released by Fakies, available in 24 graphic variants licensed from four skateboarding companies: Birdhouse, Blind, World Industries, and Speed Demons. The yo-yo was shaped and colored to replicate an actual skateboard wheel, with each unit printed with artwork from its respective brand.
The line was developed with input from yo-yo player Brian Cabildo of the DXL Crew and manufactured in China. A Blind-branded variant is held in the collection of The Strong National Museum of Play (Rochester, NY, Object ID 108.3858).
Variants
24 graphic variants across four licensed brands. Confirmed designs include Birdhouse “Pyro,” Birdhouse “Samurai Sword,” Birdhouse “Jeremy Klein,” Blind “Skeleton Skull,” Blind “Stars & Stripes,” and multiple World Industries and Speed Demons designs.
