20 Test Questions • Is it for Good For Cruising?
• Will The skateboard Hold me Putting pressure on the deck?• Will it steer straight?• Will it be comfortable to ride? • Will it have good pop off the kick?• Will it be easy to control?• Will it last?• Will the art work Survive against a Board Slide? • Is the board to thick or thin?• Is it safe to use?• Will the deck survive against waterlog control• Is it to heavy or light?• Will the edges be smooth?• Can I land a successful Ollie?• Will the edges chip?• Will the kick be good sized?• Can I turn Right and Left easily?• Will the trucks be straight?• Will it last if on landing a trick?• Is it the right sizing for my feet?
Conclusion• I am going to design a Old School board that could be marketed by
Underground Skate . It will be ridden anywhere ranging from Skate Parks and cruising the streets. I will take into consideration the rides weight because I don’t like to ride something too heavy. Its height is just as important because if its to high the kick wont work as well. It will be built with durability in mind because The safety of it will be depended on The value for money. As for the performance, will depend on how well it is made according to my highly developed design.

how this has showed it could or should have happened
Tech Deck
what it could look like in thefuture-how clamping works-how to grip a board
-physical idea-practice moulding,shaping, drilling,gripping, clamping
-Very small-time consuming-easy to break
This showed that ifyou drill the truckholes wrong it couldruin the board.
This helped me decidewhich board shape I woulduse for my final boad.
