Inspired by the self-balancing Unicycle created by Trevor Blackwell, this experimenter set out to build a one-wheeled skateboard. Utilizing the information abundantly available online regarding balancing robots, and some ingenuity, John Dingley worked to make his self-balancing board a reality.

By Todd MartinYou should be aware of the benefits of building your own skateboard. Buying a skateboard can be very expensive, especially if you want one of the best made ones out there. What you will discover though when you go to buy the materials to make your own is that you are paying way too much than for a complete skateboard. Profit margin on such items is unbelievably high as, it doesn't
There are two skateboards that I recently was made aware of, and I thought I would start talking about more decks, since that is the crux of skateboarding. A good skateboard deck can mean a lot, and so here we go. A couple of skateboards from stereo skateboards and Jason lee: The above board is the Jason Lee Pipe Skateboard re-release. It's a re-issue of the classic "pipe" board that came out a fe

Most skateboarders spend a large portion of their time learning new skateboard tricks. Basic Freestyle skateboard tricks involve balancing on some other part of the board than all four wheels, such as two wheels or one wheel, the tail

I always get asked questions from kids that see me skate, they always come up to me and ask if I'm sponsored, or if I am a pro, and most of the time I have to tell them that I'm not sponsored and no, I'm not a pro. They then go on to ask me about getting sponsored, or going pro, and some even give me videos to post on this site, youtube or give to my shop. All that to try and fit in this news post from Focus Skateboarding Magazine that talks briefly about how to get sponsored skateboarding, how to start a skateboard shop and many other topics. Check it out on the official Focus Skateboarding Website, and leave a comment. I for one still dream about owning my own skateboard shop, and while I do have Double J Skateboards Online, it's just not the same.Check out our sponsors, and keep us skat

One of the major problems with youth today is that they think you can't skate anywhere. It's not a problem for me to skateboard at work, on the sidewalk, in the warehouse, or even in a parking lot. I take skateboarding wherever I go. NO, I'm not sponsored, and NO, I'm not a professional, but I agree whole heartedly with what Mike V. says in this video below: "You can skateboard anywhere!" I grew up without a nearby skateboard park, and I grew up with little opportunities to travel to skateboard parks that were near Tony Hawk's house, or up north far away. So I just learned tricks in my front yard, and eventually I got the hang of it.I never learned vert. But in the streets, I can hold my own.
