Just spotted a new self‑lifting skateboard that jumps 8 feet—sounds wild, but is it actually safe or just another slick marketing stunt?

That’s a flashy pitch for sure. The first thing that catches my eye is how they’re actually lifting it—electric motors that jolt the deck up, so it’s not a simple trick, it’s a mechanical jump. The batteries and the frame need to handle the impact repeatedly, and I haven’t seen any independent crash tests or safety certifications. Then there’s the weight: an 8‑foot lift means a heavier deck and more stress on the bearings, which could mean a shorter lifespan. In short, it might work in a controlled demo, but without clear specs on load limits, battery life, and safety seals it’s hard to say it’s more than a marketing stunt. If you’re looking for a legit new experience, keep an eye out for reviews from people who actually own one and test it in real‑world conditions.
