Posted on January 15, 2010 by max

As an avid skateboarder, I can’t not pass up great blog posts like this one where the author shows you how to make your own skateboard from scratch, freakin’ awesome dude!

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.

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.

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.
