If you ever ollied a large staircase and had the skateboard snap when you land, you know that it pretty spectacular. You also know that it take a while before you try such a big trick again. And that’s our concern about the Foldable Skateboard Deck concept from New York designer Jin-Seok Hwang.
It is cool looking, safe, and the way more portable than a regular board, but the hinge in the middle is a breeze waiting to happen. We’d file this under “amateurs” and “poseur” – it is certainly not as useful for daily hardcore skaters – they must have confidence that your configuration is to stay together or you’re not trying something harder than a kick turn.
