Safe

Safe Skate is a longboard add-on that allows for a safer urban riding experience by using shock absorption and lighting. The first of the two part system that allows for the user to stay safe while riding is the responsive lighting located under the deck that will show when you are turning and stopping. It is able to do this because of the accelerometer and arduino that is housed on the longboard at all times. The second way that Safe Skate protects its riders from poorly paved roads is by using suspension that is mounted between the trucks and the board, all while allowing them to have a better longboarding experience.
