The Design

About The Board Skateboard

Ang The Board ay isang natitiklop na skateboard na dinisenyo para sa madaling pagdadala at pag-iimbak. Ang deck ay gawa sa 57 magkakakabit na pivot hinges. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtitiklop ng mga bisagra sa isang direksyon o sa kabila, ang klasikong hugis ng cruiser ay nagiging isang perpektong bilog. Sa hugis-bilog na anyo nito, ang The Board ay kasya sa isang backpack at maaaring itago sa makikitid na espasyo o ipakita bilang isang dekorasyon sa bahay. Aluminum, bakal at plastik ang ginamit sa pagbuo nito. Ang proseso ng transpormasyon ay nagbibigay sa disenyo ng malinaw na biswal na pang-akit.
