A rocket skateboard is designed in the same style and with the same features of a longboard but scaled down quite a bit in size. The deck of the rocket skateboard is thicker than a typical skateboard deck, making it much less flexible. The stiffness of the deck makes it harder to do some tricks on and the more stressful tricks have the ability to crack the deck. The rocket skateboard is also heavier than a regular skateboard and more compact than a longboard, adding to the difficulty of performing already well-known tricks. With practice, almost any trick that can be performed on a regular skateboard or longboard can be performed on the rocket skateboard. The individual will need to learn to compensate for the heavier weight and reduced flexibility of the rocket skateboard.

So, How's The Ride on the Rocket Skateboard?

Individuals that have tried the rocket skateboard say that the rocket skateboard borrows a little of its style from both the typical skateboard and the longboard but remains very different from both. The ride is unlike anything experienced on any other type of board and all tricks must be customized by the rider to be performed correctly on the rocket skateboard. Riding the rocket skateboard has been described as very near to the sensation of gliding on air in complete control of direction and speed. Learning how to perform tricks on the rocket skateboard is almost like learning the tricks all over again, only this time the individual has some basic knowledge of how to attempt the actions they are trying. A rocket skateboard is not intended to be a replacement for a regular skateboard or a longboard, but by blending the best qualities of each, has created a completely unique skateboarding experience.
