Shortboard - Renders

A small design task.

It's a skateboard, but half the length. Meant for people who use skateboarding as a secondary transportation, Eg, take a car to school/work but have to park a long way away, so skate the rest of the distance. The length means transporting it is much easier.

To start with I intended the skateboard truck to be at the front, but I made a test model and found it was much easier to turn if you use it one wheel first. The turning seems to be about the same as a skateboard, the short length makes up for only having one truck, so the turning circle is about the same.

Anyway, any crits, comments or insults welcome.
