CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD — Spend a day hanging with "The Professor," aka Paul Schmitt, for the CreateAskate experience. Professor Schmitt is a skateboard innovator, pioneer, and founder of the famed Schmitt Stix brand and the wood shop maestro behind the Vision and Sims brands during the second half of the 1980s. I will also be there to photo-document your day with The Professor. We will begin with a tour of Professor Schmitt's personal workshop in Costa Mesa, California, where you will get to make your own custom model with Paul. After we design a one-off prototype and build production tooling, we will head 110 miles south to Tijuana, Mexico, where the PS Stix production facility is located to produce 10 of your own custom-shape boards for you to take home with you. If you desire a graphic, you will need to come up with your own graphic for the production board. After Tijuana, we will head to McGill's Skate Shop in Encinitas, California, to "drop in" on proprietor and Bones Brigade legend Mike “McTwist” McGill where you will get to pick out wheels and trucks for one of your decks to make it into a complete setup. This reward includes one copy of the book mailed to you in time for the holidays, plus a second book and a 20"x30" photo print of the book cover, given to you upon your visit, to be signed by us on that day. Your name will also be listed on the book website supporter page. This reward will be fulfilled between January 2015 and June 2015. You will be responsible for your transportation to Costa Mesa, California, all lodging, etc. (Note: The day trip to Mexico will require a passport.)
