From Book to Board: "EOSkate" Paper Skateboard by AGENT
Sam
We did use clear sandpaper tape in some of the prototypes. That's the way to achieve grip and still show the graphics underneath, but some of the pictures don't show it.
We've been testing the prototypes and so far so good, except that in some impacts the resin+paper mix is more brittle than wood, of course.
Still some more testing (skating) to do.
Anyone?

Since it is mentionned in the video that the result is a bit heavier, it would be nice to see this process applied to longboards, perticularly racing boards, where weight is not as important as a traditionnal skateboard.
Cool project !
Except for this little doubt of mine, I still think you guys had a great idea! the concept is really good.
Bye!
PS: I'm sorry for my English, I guess I made some grammar mistakes, but I hope you understand, that's what really matters, isn't it? haha.
