Make a simple longboard

Why not make a simple longboard? It might do you some good to broaden your horizons a little. How’s yours coming MC? [Source: Make Projects]

Another best electric skateboard

This one actually looks pretty good too, able to go uphill, but certainly not as powerful as a Gnarboard. This is probably the nicest looking electric skateboard to date, it doesn’t look like a longboard with a brick strapped to it. It’s the first ever to use regenerative breaking too. Breaking recharges the batteries a […]

Stop Stair-ing

Before everyone get’s their panties in a bunch, this was purely a design exercise and not a product meant to be sold to the general public. It’s kind of a fascinating train wreck to watch. It looks like a successful design of a skateboard you can ride down stairs, at least in a less jarring […]

Fingerlongboards

I’m surprised it has taken this long for Tech Deck to release longboard style fingerboards. Actually, I could have sworn they had a limited release of some already. This time they are upping the ante by introducing more longboard-centric models like pintails and drop boards. They even go out of the way to show the […]

Friday T&A on S&A: Longboardgirls

Better mousetrap department

Just a note to let everyone know that I will no longer feature imaginary magical skateboards that exist only in the minds and hard drives of aspiring industrial designers. There are just too many. Don’t even send them to me unless they actually exist, or are so amazing that they need to be seen (or […]

Convoluted conveyance

A guy made a longboard out of aluminum. He didn’t cast it or machine it, he built it Erector Set style. It looks… Industrial. I hope those are lock nuts. Check it out. [Source: Hack A Day] – Thanks to Andrew Wahlfor the tip.

Longboard Loop, Friday the 13th special

I totally forgot about this groundbreaking event. Forget the 1080, looping on a longboard is epic! If you laugh at this video you’ll have bad luck at your next session.

Grow Anthology looks good on paper

So essentially these boards are made out of plastic resin and paper composite, some of it post-consumer waste. Each board sold means a tree planted, so sustainability is important to Grow Anthology. Oddly enough, they aren’t blabbing about it all one the web site. You actually have to look around for it. More than likely, […]
