sep 26, 2016 - There's a Reason Skateboards Aren't Made of Glass

Description:

Esquire Online

On the list of things that should be made of glass, windows and drinking vessels are right at the top. All the way at the bottom, past houses and eyes, are skateboards. Why would anyone ever make a skateboard out of glass? It's a terrible idea. But nobody told these guys:

This video is from Braille Skateboarding, who have a video series called "You Make It, We Skate It." The name explains the gist: people can send custom skateboards for them to try. The glass skateboard in the video was made by skateboarding company Avenue Trucks, who presumably make less fragile equipment as well.

To be fair, the glass skateboard did ride around pretty well, at least until it was dropped. It also looks pretty awesome. This thing should be adorning you wall, not hitting the skatepark
