I just finished out my latest project. A contribution for the DIY (Do it yorself) community. Since I love skateboards I just couldn’t start anywhere else. Inspired by the amount of waste produced by the growth of consumerism in Europe, specially here in Frankfurt, seen through the weekly dispose of old stuff in the middle of the streets. I wanted to show one way of rethinking the use of old materials in the example of a DIY skateboard.
The idea is simple: Download the DIY Skateboard Design PDF, Print it out, stick them together over any rest of wood to be recycled, cut, put on some wheels and enjoy the ride.
If you want make your own design, Download this DIY Skateboard Blank PDF (90cm long) and make it happen.
I would love to see some of your creations, so send a picture if you are proud of what you made.
a step by step of the building process can be found here.

Good idea man! Could also use the wood for a canvas to paint on too. I did that with some metal sheets i found when i first got to frankfurt because I had nothing for my walls…
