Roarockit Skateboard kits are composed of locally available materials. Especially the all-important maple veneer, which is grown, harvested and milled in eastern Canada.
Skateboards contribute many environmental benefits to our society:
Skateboards are non-powered eco-friendly transportation
Skateboards are a non-cost form of exercise
Roarockit Skateboard Deck Kits lower the carbon footprint:
the best skateboard wood in the world is locally grown (specifically Canadian) maple veneer
maple logs are simply rotary cut into sheets and kiln dried
wood is not heavily processed with bleaches and glues (like bamboo)
transport of materials is local not off-shore
no power tools are used for the deck building process
kit parts are all (or almost all) reusable and or recyclable
kits are designed for years of use
kits can be used for other laminated projects, not just skateboards
finished decks are built to last many years, not disposable
glues, paints and coatings are water-based
hand deck building supports local businesses and workers
hand deck building promotes do-it-yourself projects instead of offshore and off the shelf purchases
custom deck building provides a potential local business to small builders
