Oakley Surf Shop Challenge Regional Champion Trophies

For the second year in a row, Oakley asked The Public Works to design and build trophies for the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge (OSSC). Having loved the national champion trophy that we created in 2011, this year Oakley asked us to create the regional champion trophies. Keeping with the feel of the locale of this year’s national championship event—Bali, Indonesia—we created trophies to look like they were made of driftwood: a panel with weathered boards. And, in the true style…

Oakley Torpedo Trophy

We love that our clients never cease to amaze us with their creativity and projects they come to us with.

2007 Crankworx Trophies

Crankworx is one of the biggest, most prestigious mountain bike events in the world. This year was the 1st time there was a tour stop at Winter Park and we were honored to be involved.Winter Park commissioned us to design and fabricate the trophies for all of the events and sponsors. This worked out to 44 units. Each one was custom laser etched. The acrylic bike sprocket had to be custom fit to the thousandth of an inch because acrylic has so much variation in thickness. I think 100th of an inch…
