Here’s a simple picture of how much space that cars, bus, and bikes take in comparison to the number of people using it.  I have to say they should add skateboards, which should definitely come on top for the most eco-friendliest vehicle.

In this image, you can see three interpretations of what it takes to get the same amount of people into town for work, shopping or for whatever reason they would need to travel. They have chosen three modes of travel, car, bus and cycle, this picture says it all.

You’ve always wanted to learn how to ollie on a skateboard, here’s how to do it:

1. Be in balance at constant speed.

2. Hit the back foot pretty hard while simultaneously jumping and sliding the forward foot up the board. (This should get you airborne)

3. Bring up the knees and finsh nice.

Well, you thought this wasn’t possible but it is!  It’s a propeller powered skateboard that will propel you forward with the use of wind-power.  Now, I’d like to see this concept applied to snowboards, that might kick start a new sport called “cross-country snowboarding”.

Skateboarding gets more exciting as I strap a model airplane engine to the end of a skateboard.

I had a great time with this project. It was rather easy to put together and a whole lot of fun to test. I look forward to playing with it more and may update the video with more antics in the future.

There’s been a lot of makers of electric skateboards in the past, even a skateboard brake.

Well, here’s a company called Altered USA that has launched its line of super electric skateboards that can go 20MPH no problem.  As a skateboarder myself, I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these beauties, of course, you need to pay around $599 to $799 so start filling up your piggy bank.

Pushing, pumping, tic-tacking, it’s all so pathetically 90’s. Get over it. The skateboards of the future are all electric. And OK, it may not work for flippy-do tricks but harnessing the energy of the Exkate electric skateboard is the closest feeling to surfing you’re ever going to get on the pavement. Commanding a respectable 20 mph with a wireless handheld controller, your feet never leave the board as you carve your way all over town. And with around 10 miles to a full charge, you’ll be tripping. Until someone invents the Hoverboard, this baby is it!

A skatboarder in Germany achieved 50MPH+ on the highway.  The German government is still trying to track down the person who did it to put him in jail but I think they should give him an award instead.

A video of the skateboarder, broadcast on German television networks on Wednesday, showed a helmeted figure wearing a red and white protective suit building up speed by holding onto the back of a motorcycle before letting go and freewheeling.

“We put out an all-points bulletin and have received information that gives us useful clues to who the man may be,” Stoeckle said. “We are particularly concerned about copycats who may imitate the stunt, putting their lives at risk.”

Check out these cool Skatebrakes that will add brakes to your skateboard.  Of course, this isn’t really practical for freestyling on the streets but it will definitely help if you live in area like San Francisco where steep hills will make it impossible for you to ride continuously.

With this brake kits, fear no more 45 degree hills in San Francisco, just apply the brakes if you happen to slide down too fast.  I think even if you are an advanced skateboarder, this will help in really steep hills as it’s annoying to put your right foot down everytime you are going too fast.

And yes, this would be really great for picking up chicks on your skateboard.

Here’s a great idea for making cool staircase, a Skateboard Staircase made with bunch of empty skateboard decks, much more practical than floating staircase.  Now, if they put some sand paper, it will make the stairs itself very secure to walk on.

One day if I get my own house, I am making every staircase with skateboard decks for sheezy.

This is a set of steps I made for our skateboard school. The aluminium beam is a solid billet of aluminium and the decks were custom made with concave only on one edge. You should see the look on our students faces when they make the treck to the basement.

This isn’t really, technically a skateboard but it is a type of a skateboard you can make.

Here’s a great instruction on how to hack your own skateboard from scratch although I do suggest buying one if you can afford it.

I just finished out my latest project. A contribution for the DIY (Do it yorself) community. Since I love skateboards I just couldn’t start anywhere else. Inspired by the amount of waste produced by the growth of consumerism in Europe, specially here in Frankfurt, seen through the weekly dispose of old stuff in the middle of the streets. I wanted to show one way of rethinking the use of old materials in the example of a DIY skateboard.

Here’s a new way to skate down the gravel road with the Dirtsurfer, a hybrid surfing system consisting of skateboard and bicycle wheels flopped together.

It looks promising and fun but I am not sure if I am inclined to wear all that safety gear just to get on one.

The Freestyle Dirtsurfer features all the upgrades of the Flexi-Pro on a shorter length frame and smaller
16″ tires. The reduction in size allows for a lighter board that is more maneuverable so you can pull off
the biggest tricks imaginable! This board skates extremely well, but can still tackle the rough terrain.

For most skateboarders, this advanced skateboard hoodie can act as extra protection for practicing crazy tricks such as a reverse-360-heel-flip over some big holes.

Wearing protective gear can be uncomfortable and give the wrong image when nobody else is wearing it. The skater needs to be able to move and be flexible, and do tricks comfortably. Protective gear, at times, seems unimportant.The goal is start a new positive trend for skaters. Cali Hoodie is safety apparel with integrated protective pads for skaters.
