Lumberjack'd logo - Logo by group member: Ryan Aubrey The concept of placing an urban forest in the midst of modern life brings forth images of undergrowth and trees interrupting the city's artificial landscape, creating both obstacles and opportunities. The lumberjack serves as inspiration for new behaviours in the urban forest. Lumber Jack’d skateboards are both threatening tools and rugged means of transportation.
