Joseph Poliquin Art Contest

We are honored to have Joseph Poliquin join our team as our 2nd Official Team Skater. You may know of him from such films as "Five Nights at Freddy's", "Project Power", "Northern Shade", "The Purge", and many others. To celebrate we are launching an art contest for his first Official Signature Tickle Me Not Skateboard deck.

In 2024 Joseph Poliquin stared in "Skate to Hell"; A Shawn C. Phillips film, along with our first team skater; Matthew "Unspoken Notion" Clark. After the film Matthew & Joseph were trying to think of ways to help promote "Skate to Hell" with their skateboarding abilities and their fan bases. As part of that agreement, Tickle Me Not is providing the boards for their promotion project of "Skate to Hell", and Joseph has agreed to represent Tickle Me Not as a team skater.

So to celebrate this collaboration; we present this art contest. These boards will be a part of their "Skate to Hell" promotional project; as well as, Joseph Poliquins first signature Tickle Me Not Skateboard for our "Half-pipe Dreams" collection. We at Tickle Me Not love promoting art.
