Talkeetna Collection — coming soon
Our first release. Three board graphics, drawn by hand, printed on 85 decks. 80 are for sale; 5 go to skaters who genuinely fit the project — real skaters, real tricks, real use.
Every full-size deck comes with its matching mini and sends $20 to the Talkeetna Skatepark — a park our friend Michael Gardner helped dream up.

MICHAEL GARDNER
In memory
Climber. Skater. Friend. Inspiration. A renowned alpinist and skateboarder, Michael lived with intention and chased big lines — in the mountains and on a board.
Peggy guided alongside him on Denali. He was part of the push behind the Talkeetna Skatepark, and the Teeth to the Wind board carries his spirit forward — not as something static, but as something meant to keep moving.

Reignited
After Michael’s death, the effort is reignited in his honor. “Teeth to the Wind” becomes its slogan.

Wheels on the ground
Temporary ramps are on the site and kids are riding. The permanent park — beginner-friendly, with a deeper bowl and mini-ramp — moves forward.
One email when the boards are ready. That’s it.
