Hey, ever wondered if you could power a skateboard with the energy you generate on the board itself—so you’re tricking and charging at the same time? I’m working on a prototype that uses kinetic energy and solar cells, and I’d love to hear what kind of tricks would push the limits of the tech.

Sounds like a plan—just remember the weight of extra panels. If you can keep the kit under 150 grams and make the cells flexible, you’ll keep the board agile. Also, a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth after every run will stop dust from killing the output. Let’s prototype a small panel that folds into the deck so it’s not a visual distraction but still catches the sun during the big air. We'll hit that 1080 and harvest a ton of juice, then we can test the battery's recharge rate in real time.
