It is interesting to watch skate parks and skateboarding becoming so popular again. Indeed, there appears to be a 10-year cycle in that industry sub-sector. The Online Think Tank is assisting World Class Designers with innovative ideas to take the concept to a whole new level. We wish to re-design them and the skateboards too.
In fact we want to build hoverboard prototypes. These units will need to propel the 90-180 lb. average kid and therefore stay very low in the ground affect. The current hoverboards are the wrong shape, size, power and the aerodynamic flows are incorrect, but with all these new high tech materials perhaps this may in fact change. Materials such as Carbon Nano-Tubes. (yes your future golf clubs too.)
Matter of fact I am picking up an all-carbon 10-speed for my bike ride across the nation soon, charity fundraising effort. But Carbon Nano-Tubes, well that takes the whole thing to a whole new level. Imagine Lance Armstrong on a bike weighing 8 lbs? See ya!
With all the military UAV VTOL devices there is lots of hover parts that are much more powerful than before. "Four of those on a board" now that would life someone up and then they could rock and roll at a skatepark. Building the World's Best Skate Park is easier said than done, especially when one's starts out re-designing the entire sport from the ground up. Can it be done?
Well, the Online Think Tank believes it can and we want the skateboards to fly, literally. If you want to see some awesome new concepts in skateparks, then check this out;
