Futuristic Longboard Constraints and Specifications

Brayden Shelley
2 Comments
  Specifications:  The board needs to be functional / rideable. A huge part of the whole design is for it to be a real (rideable) longboard, not just something that you hang on the wall.  It needs to be durable enough to not crack when riding it. This may seem obvious and go hand-in-hand with the previous…
