Abstract
In late decades’ skateboarding, has moved from garages and skate parks to city parks and lanes. It has extended from entertainment into a type of transportation. The skateboard permits the youngster to get extraordinary velocities, frequently in abundance of 20 miles for each hour, yet takes into consideration just restricted directional control. To date, no successful braking gadget has been devised. This study is a comparison between a traditional skateboard and remodeled skateboard with a braking system. Result showed a significant effect of brakes on the users’ performance. The research should give a different perception to safety and performance of skateboarders.
