If someone mentioned Laguna Beach, California and nuclear pickle in the same sentence a skateboard would be the last thing we’d think off. But that’s the name lifelong skateboarder Eric Kirkland chose for his new tool-free longboard.
The Nuclear Pickle, which may be marketed as the Long Woody by the time it hits shelves, enables three-way wheel adjustment via a control knob which eliminates discomfort and injuries caused by carrying an external tool, deeper carving, and improved board control via axles that rotate further for a better turning radius. . . . Kirkland plans to sell his product in big-box sporting good stores including Dicks Sporting Goods, Sport Chalet, and Costco Online, where it will retail for less than $200.
Kirkland appears to be going for some kind of world record in cock references: Get your tool-less, Nuclear Pickle, Long Woody with control knob, at Dick’s.
