During daylight savings time it is easy for skateboarders to hit something and lose control and crash. Many of them we interviewed told our Online Think Tank that crashing; sucks. When considering these statements we indeed agreed with them. Thus future skateboard designs will need to encompass a special; Lighting and Safety System to prevent these problems.

Of course skateboards must stay small, light and maneuverable and thus the lighting system must be low wattage. Meaning about the only possible system that can be used would be an LED Self Powered Lighting System run off magnets on the wheels or generating the energy as the skateboard goes over bumps. Consider the Shake-able flashlights if you will and how these could be integrated into the skateboard.

Low wattage circuit boards could also generate Holographic Images to use as a Holographic Training System where new tricks learned. The rider would see the image in front of them and match its moves until they did it perfect and learned a new trick. Advanced riders could create, sell or trade the programs online in Skateboard Image Exchanges.

LED Lights are great because they can come in many different colors. For instance a Wipe Out could be a "Red" flashing light and High Level Rad Move, which was successfully accomplished could be "Green!" Indeed, the board could have ground affects too which allowed it to change Board Color or Modify its color based on the pace of the tricks or speed of acceleration.

The skateboards of the future will have advanced lighting systems and most likely they will use low wattage LED Bulbs and circuit boards, which are light-weight and ultra bright. All this and more will be part of the skateboards and hover boards of the future.
