Green skateboard-decks make skateboarding an eco-friendly extreme sport

Skateboarding is fun and exhilarating and it gets even better knowing that those sets of wheels beneath your feet are green. Behold the three greenest skateboard decks around, Bamboo SK8, Habitat and Element. To start off with, Bamboo SK8’s decks are made from a custom blend of 3 ply bamboo and 2 ply Canadian Maple held together by water based glues making them durable and eco-friendly. Besides that, part of the sales income is being donated by the company to help rebuild Japan. Habitat’s skateboard decks are lightweight and have a great grip, made from water based glues and custom blends of bamboo, cork, hemp and Canadian Maple, again, an eco-friendly way to skate. Element’s Helium skateboard deck line use five air chamber cores and use a reduced amount of wood too.

A green way to ride the half-pipe, these decks cost $20 to $150 for the SK8s, $50 for the Habitat decks and up to $65 for the ones by Element!
