It’s that time of year again folks, and I know you’re contemplating the same thing we are. Do I spend a little cheddar crafting a Halloween costume or get plastered on Halloween night and ignore the “Where’s your costume?” comments.
Whichever you’re thinking, we’re going to urge you to indulge in the festivities this year. We all know Christmas is more exciting with Santa Claus, Thanksgiving is better with a turkey, and you have to admit, Halloween isn’t the same without a costume.
It’s for this reason we’re back with a few easy to pull off, low-budget costumes that will be sure to make your skate homies laugh and your non-skate homies ask “WTF?”
’70s ERA SKATER
Perfect for the inexperienced skater, because if someone asks you to kickflip you can blame your era-appropriate banana board for not having a tail. Equally as ideal for the OG’s- Relive your glory days as a youngster while also avoiding having to pop your board.
Required Gear:
– Blonde Wig
– ’70s Era Knee and Elbow Pads
– G&S Tee
– Banana Board
2003 ERA BAM
Speaking of glory days, step into the Adios of the man himself and allow it to totally envelop your being on Halloween night – Go crazy, paint your entire kitchen blue, beat up your dad while he’s taking a shit, cut a sunroof in your car that doesn’t have one, worry about nothing – MTV will cover it.
Required Gear:
– Maroon Button Up
– Heartagram Beanie and Necklace
– Chinstrap Beard
BRANDON BIEBEL
For one night only, you can experience the extravagant Miami Playboy lifestyle. Not included: Gymshark sponsorship, self-tanner, Costco membership, sterile needles, bottle service, foreign car monthly payment, ratchet women and “I miss the old you.” Instagram comments.
Required Gear:
– Tattoo Accurate Muscle Suit
– Goatee and Bald Cap
– BL1 Veneer Set
ANDY MACDONALD
While you’re 100% too old to medal at the Olympics, you’re not too old to party in full pads. Wake up, take your multi-vitamin, stretch for 2 hours, do a couple slashes, and then you’re good to go.
Required Gear:
– 187 Knee and Elbow Pads
– Signature Yellow Helmet
– SoBe Life Tee
SKATEPARK LURKER
If you’re going to try and bum cigarettes all Halloween night and impose your shitty music on everyone via Bluetooth speaker, at least look the part. And don’t forget to push around mongo whenever you throw down to really sell it.
Required Gear:
– Burlap Scarf
– Leather Bracelet Set
– Joggers
– Bandana
– Bluetooth Speaker
SHANE ONEILL
Are you worried about getting stuck in boring conversations? Fear not, you’ll have an easy out with this one – just say you have to go update your operating system to the latest Zigram OS. Additionally, if that doesn’t work, just put your hand in water and freak out asking for a bag of rice.
Required Gear:
– Carbon Fiber-Titanium Alloy Shell
– Zigram-23 Operating System
OLYMPIC PARENT
Can you embody the inflated ego that comes with your child’s endless endorsement deals? If yes, this one might be for you. Make sure to max out on logos, bring a fresh pen to ink deals, and make sure to leave your phone volume up. You have to let people know your child’s in demand.
Required Gear:
– USA Sweater
– Olympic Lanyard and Badge
– American Flag
– Binoculars
