I was amazed that nobody had thought of making SKATEBOARDS in Second Life yet, After all the time it's been up! Anyhow, that's what I want to do. So I'll need someone who can handle...

-Scripting the board so it will ride around like a normal skateboard, which shouldn't be too hard for an experienced scripter
-Helping figure out how the skateboard will do Flip Tricks*

*Flip tricks, such as the kickflip, are when the skateboarder jumps up, flips the board, and lands on it. How would this be done in second life? The board would actually have to rotate while the avatar is in the air. As you can see, when it comes to tricks, it gets hard.

I've been told it in fact is possible, I just need an experienced and talented enough scripter to help me with it. It's a money making idea, please help me someone!

I saw one skateboard but it was more of a modded linden hoverboard script and didn't really work. I'd use the hoverboard as a starting point.

Its been done before.

For tricks, you will have to go with the same system the lindens did for the snowboard. Anything else would be impractical at best, impossible (Or results so horrible it may as well be impossible), at the more realistic.

I have a skateboard that you can do tricks on - I believe I bought it at Mourning After in Indigo - it's called thrash something. I use it to skate around the second floor of the hirise I bought from Jai Nomad there :)
