Sesame Street Skateboards!

Australian skate company Globe has teamed up with the Sesame Street Yellow Feather Fund and released a set of Sesame Street skate boards.

Show your support of something that affects us all, our youth and their education. Globe has proudly teamed up with the Sesame Street Yellow Feather Fund, which provides early education to millions of kids in need. Globe has created a series of decks with beloved Sesame Street characters to bring awareness to the growing fund.

There are six skate decks in all including Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, and Count Von Count. Elmo's cruiser is smaller then the rest and comes complete, as does Big Bird's longboard.

Each board is made of hard Maple wood and feature a “Resin-7 construction with a full concave, holographic prism foil with transparent and pearlescent ink details." 

The top of each desk also features a yellow feather.

Apparently these sold out quickly in Globe's home country of Australia. 

Luckily, they still seem to be available here in the states at mall skate shop Zumiez.
