Earlier today we saw the iPad kitchen Cabinet Mod, although that mod was slightly more functional than this one if you actually wanted to use the iPad, now we have an iPad Skateboard mod from the guys over at Fuel TV.
As you will see in the video below, the guys at Fuel TV decided to turn the iPad into a functional skateboard to see if they could actually use it to skate on.
The Experiment: Turning an iPad into a Skateboard
The idea of turning an iPad into a skateboard might sound absurd to many, but the team at Fuel TV was up for the challenge. They wanted to push the boundaries of what an iPad could endure and see if it could function as a skateboard deck. The process involved attaching skateboard trucks and wheels to the iPad, transforming it from a sleek piece of technology into a makeshift skateboard.
In the video, you can see the team testing the iPad skateboard on various surfaces. They perform a series of tricks and maneuvers to test its durability and functionality. Surprisingly, the iPad holds up better than expected, although it does show signs of wear and tear. This experiment highlights the iPad’s robust build quality, even though it was never designed to withstand such extreme conditions.
Why You Shouldn’t Try This at Home
While the iPad skateboard mod is undoubtedly entertaining, it’s important to note that this is not a practical or safe use of an iPad. The iPad is an expensive piece of technology designed for computing, media consumption, and productivity, not for extreme sports. Attempting to use an iPad as a skateboard at home is likely to result in a broken device and potential injury.
The iPad’s screen and internal components are not built to withstand the impact and stress of skateboarding. Even though the Fuel TV team managed to skate on it for a short period, the iPad was visibly damaged by the end of their experiment. If you’re interested in skateboarding, it’s best to invest in a proper skateboard designed for that purpose. Skateboards are specifically engineered to handle the rigors of skating, providing a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Moreover, using an iPad as a skateboard voids any warranty and could lead to costly repairs or replacements. It’s a fun concept to watch, but not something to replicate.
We wouldn’t recommend trying this at home, as you will end up with a broken iPad. If you want to skate, we suggest you spend the cash on a skateboard instead of an iPad, as we suspect it will probably work a lot better.
