The camaraderie among skateboarders makes this activity fun, rewarding, and inclusive. Whether you’re trying to land a new trick or complete a challenging line, your fellow skaters are there to support you and celebrate your successes.

This culture of striving together and celebrating each other’s victories is a beautiful aspect of skateboarding that should be cherished.

On Sunday, June 16th, we hosted a skateboarding session at Amager Strand in Copenhagen. It was an opportunity for people to come together, try out the Liquid skateboard, and enjoy a barbecue and drinks.

Participants ranged from 8 to 57 years old, from complete beginners to seasoned skateboarders. Many were trying skateboarding for the first time, and we could already tell it wouldn’t be their last.

We watched as novices stepped onto the Liquid skateboard for the first time. We started them off without the electric assistance so they could get a feel for it. Then, we activated the motor, and they experienced the endless ride, resulting in countless smiles.

Experienced riders jumped on and started rolling immediately, needing no explanation. The Liquid skateboard is so similar to traditional skateboarding that it’s intuitive for experienced skaters, making it easy and fun.

We’re extremely proud to see people who never thought they could skateboard fall in love with the experience.

And because we don’t only cruise, we also took the opportunity to skate and have fun in the perfect mini ramp.

A big thank you to Samuel, Camille, and Gaston for organizing the event so wonderfully. And special thanks to @kleosphoto for capturing the day’s moments as our photographer.

We’re already looking forward to our next event, where even more people can experience the joy of skateboarding.

Make sure to follow us on Instagram to stay informed about our next event and its location.

We’re still live on Kickstarter, and the number of available skateboards is decreasing. There’s still time to get an early bird pledge and support the launch of the Liquid skateboard project.

We have big dreams, but a small production budget, so for our launch video, we had to get creative.

Fortunately, I knew the perfect person for the job. My friend Martin, who’s both a pro-rider and talented cinematographer came to Copenhagen in October for a week of shooting & skateboarding.

We wanted to find a way to capture the endless flow of riding a Liquid Skateboard, while remaining close to the action.

Professional (and expensive) camera-tracking equipment could have worked, but we wanted to shoot on the move so constantly relocating this setup would have been a hassle.

The cruise-control of the Liquid Skateboard was surprisingly perfect for capturing the board flowing through the city.

So, with camera in hand, Martin stepped onto the board and set off.

Because the board allows you to cruise at a constant speed, Martin could focus on filming the first board, allowing us to get the rolling cinematic shots we needed, all over town.

We’re super happy with the result and can’t wait to reveal the full kickstarter launch video.

So, with just a camera and the Liquid Board, you too can create cinema-level tracking shots!
I wonder what other creative uses there are for a cruise-control skateboard?
I’m sure we will find out soon…

Dear skater, rider, novelty enthusiast, curious, explorer,

Very nice to meet you!

My name is Alexis and I am at the creator of the liquid skateboard project.

If you’re here today, it’s likely because skateboarding resonates with you, just as it does with me. And because passion is better when it is shared, I feel very honoured to have you on my side.

Freshly retired from my ski career at the age of 20, I had to abandon the idea of turning professional in that sport. I found myself surrounded by amazing classmates, roommates, and friends who, in addition to being excellent skiers and snowboarders, were also extremely skilled skateboarders.

During our third year together, Julien suggested a brilliant idea : “How about we build a mini ramp inside of the apartment”.

Of course, being the wise individuals we were, we all enthusiastically agreed.

So after 2 months of planning, cutting and building, it was ready. It quickly became one of the best places to hone our skills. Starting to skateboard at that time was truly one of the best feelings. I always look back on those moments with very fond memories. 

It has been the best activity for making new friends in new cities or countries. And if you skate yourself, you know what I mean. Go to any city around the world with your skateboard, and you will always meet cool people at the skateboard.

It has also been the ideal mode of transportation through the bustling streets of Paris during heavy commutes, and it even played a significant role in landing my very first job (a story for another day).

And you, what made you learn skateboarding? How young did you start? What is your favorite board type ? Are you still skateboarding? Or maybe, have you ever skated?

Post a comment below and share your story with us – and tell us a bit more about what is your connection with skateboarding.

We are on a journey to bring a unique skateboard to life, and we hope that you are as excited about it as we are.
