DanXer.



"More Fun Than Your First Driver's License!"

The next two weeks are going to be spent on the assorted products that have been sold as innovations for skateboarding. Some of them have merit, others made sense at the time, and the rest leave you wondering.

Starting off in wonderland is the DanXer made by Chaos, Inc. from Troy, Michigan. Did anybody out there have one of these things? What's up with the silver rail? It should be noted that this ad was designed in 1988 and ran in 1989, yet it proclaims dawn will break on 1990.

I saw that, too. I did a Google search after I made this post. There was only one crappy photo with the auction. I'm wondering if the guy who does ebay watch at Skate & Annoy knows more about this thing.

Stubbled accross this post, anyone know anymore about this board or what the one on ebay sold for? They are rare and I can't find anything about them.

No idea. Nobody knows, which adds to the intrigue.

I would check the eBay Watch archives on Skate & Annoy. There was a post about this thing on there, too. Not sure if there was a follow up.
