We’ve covered previous other racy Boom-Art collections such as the 1970s Pin-Up Girl Skateboards, but none have been as sexually charged (or controversial) as their latest collaboration: the Disney Orgy Skate Decks. As can be inferred from the title, the two limited edition skate decks feature a hilarious take on classic Disney characters doing very, very, […]
