Tarp Surfing!

Posted on July 29, 2010 by max

Are you a filming student who is horribly afraid of the sea water and you need to make a surfing video for your next project? You might be able to fake those tsunami-like waves with “tarp surfing” which involves a skateboard or a longboard, all sewed up nicely with your friend making a big wave for you with a tarp.

Photon Light LED Skateboards!

Posted on February 15, 2010 by max

As an avid skateboarder, I would really have loved to see LEDs added onto my board for night-boarding. Well, there’s a deck for that, Photon Light LED skateboards bring you so much bright illumination at night that you might actually need to wear some shades to ride without blinding yourself.

These skateboard decks are $60 and probably decent investment if you happen to ride at night a lot. Plus, think about all the safety measures this cool LED skateboard deck brings.

Eco-consciuosness – Space that Cars, Bus, and Bikes Take!

Posted on March 18, 2009 by max

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.
