TOP 5 SKATEBOARD INVENTIONS #2

2016-08-19
when you're a skater you and the board become one your positioned on your balance on it and the two of you are in a dance and there's nothing like that it's a really fulfilling feeling it's something like wow I've mastered this thing and that's what everybody loves is you love the feeling of writing you love the feeling of flowing and transitioning and you know feeling gravity push you up against the wall and then all of a sudden you're in a freefall back down but when there is a 200-foot cliff and there's no guardrail and you're doing 50 miles an hour it's just an amazing thing it is high speed high tension high adrenaline stuff going on and that's what we all are constantly chasing is that that flow that feeling and it's one of those things that I wish everybody could experience because there's nothing like that freedom and peacefulness that comes with mastering something most people think that there's nothing wrong with the circular wheel and for the most part if there isn't a problem for example a bicycle wheel you either pick one that has a very thin wheel that you want to travel very fast on like a typical road bike or you have a wide wheel and you get to go off-roading and you have improved traction and grip but the wide wheel doesn't go fast doesn't swivel well and the thin wheel doesn't go off-roading doesn't provide much traction and grip we ended up taking this basic sine wave shape turning it into a skateboard wheel and ending up with a product that gave you the benefits of both of those worlds we are built for the cruiser free ride and the longboard market when you're riding our wheels going downhill going in a straight line we pick up a lot more speed and we hold that speed second thing is as you go around that corner you're going to be able to load up on the wheel and get it to grip as much as you want but then when you need to release it and let it go sideways you can go from really hard grip to absolutely icing out in a really controllable easy manner they have a very forgiving impact and that's a big deal because the impact travels through the rest of your body so we take some of that absorption away we offer a tremendous amount of control a tremendous amount of speed and we smooth out the surface a lot if you've never ridden our wheels before you're missing out on an experience there is nothing like getting on a wheel that you absolutely cannot fathom how it would work and then it just absolutely blows you away I want you to ride it and I want you to feel it for yourself hi guys what's going on my name is David Kunis inventor of the smart truck assembly tool or as I like to call it SPECT that is unique that really accentuates is set to revolution escape so well for guru um stat is primarily designed for faster skateboard truck assembly this patent-pending skateboard tool design is set to revolutionize the process of skateboard truck setup by taking the roughly 10 to 15 minute process of initially putting skateboard trucks on a new deck or transferring the trucks from an old board to a new board and cutting that time down to roughly 30 seconds the top piece of the smart truck assembly tool has a distinctive handle system that through its mechanical process ultimately turns either for magnetically tipped allen head screwdriver bits or is easily flipped for use of for magnetically tipped Phillips head bits depending on the type of hardware you're riding at the time the bottom piece of the smart truck assembly tool is directly designed to handle many of the aspects of skateboard truck maintenance you'll be engineered to fit on all standard truck sizes including highs mids and lows all four Hardware sockets will be magnetized to hold the hardware bolt in place while setting up a new board or making the transition from one board to another the two additional sockets located in the back of the bottom portion of stadt are used to screw or unscrew the wheel axle bolt of your skateboard and tighten or untighten the kingpin bolt located in the center of your truck additional features of the tool include built-in bearing removal grip tape scraper and a built-in allen key in case your kingpin is Allen paste the smart truck assembly tool or stat for short is an innovative product that solves for some of the unique inefficiencies in modern skateboarding the tool will come in an array of different colors and is sure to get you more time on your skateboard thank you so much for your time and please check out our generous rewards we have available to those that help us

trying it's about falling and getting up as many times as it takes to get that glorious second but what if nobody sees it they say that a trick that nobody sees is one that never happened that's no longer true because we've created zero an imperceptible device with three sensors connected to an app that records all your tricks in 3d so you can relive learn from and share them whether it's seen or not to demonstrate it we invited four professional skaters and we created a competition like any other competition but with a different judge Cyril and also some interesting conditions the world's first competition in the dark do you live by hundreds of people all the tricks all the mistakes all the statistics were recorded by seer mowing shared with the world and the data named the first champion of the dark side servo kick ass skateboarding since now hi I'm Mike McKimson and this is the final prototype of a skateboard designed specifically for the smallest users it's called my first skateboard and it is designed from the ground up to be the child's first introduction to rolling pushing and turning on a skateboard shortly after my son was born he noticed my skateboards around our home I quickly realized he could play around on my board but it definitely wasn't made with his size ability and experience in mind grip tape is too abrasive for his hands and needs the wheels and trucks were not set up for his weight so rolling and learning to use his body weight to turn was difficult I made a few custom boards for him that had bigger softer wheels to help him keep rolling and used the combination of soft bushings for the trucks to allow him to turn using his own weight now years later with the addition of another little one in our home I find myself making custom boards again for her in addition to what I learned with the first go-around I've added a few other technical improvements such as a smaller deck shape and size rubberized foam is the top sheet and angled risers to increase the turning ability of the trucks along the way I've seen there are other parents who could benefit from an off-the-shelf version of this skateboard - I took feedback from friends who have skated for years and advice of a well respected board shop I along with friends and their kids tested many wheel types and truck bushings to find the optimal combination that is completely geared towards being a child's first skateboard and as an added bonus the soft foam top sheet is chalk friendly so kids can add their own artistic touch if they want easily wipes away with a damp cloth so now we have a final prototype that is nearly ready for production this is the perfect first skateboard setup for the child in your life be the world's coolest aunt uncle dad mom or grandparent for your little one by helping them to hit the ground rolling with my first skateboard you
