People who skateboard
Envrionment
Recyclable material
Type of wood used
Reducing plastic waste by not using plastic materials
Sustainability
7ply wood deck(creates a more durable skateboard)
Metal hardware and truck also provides durability
polyurethane wheels can absorb impacts opposed to plastic wheels that crack
Sand down wood to make sure that there aren't splinters that can cause larger strips of wood to tear
Cost
A good skateboard costs between USD70-150(Arider. “How Much Does It Cost For A Good Skateboard?” Medium Skate Mag, 23 Nov. 2020, mediumskatemag.com/how-much-does-it-cost-for-a-good-skateboard/#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20a%20typical%20complete,of%20the%20board%20and%20customizations.)
Make sure that the skateboard costs less than or equal to USD70
Safety
Minimize sharp edges
Use durable materials (metal) so that the skateboard doesn't break while in use
Use grip tape to prevent slipping on the skateboard
Make sure that all components are attached firmly(so they don't fall of when in use)
