Concrete has long been known for its use in buildings, patios and driveways, but have you ever heard of a concrete skateboard? Of course not it would be too heavy, bulky and non-functional right? Wrong!
Youth facility and indoor skate park 'Rocketown' in Nashville, TN, was looking for an innovative solution to fix their slippey entryway stairs. Being a youth center the 'coolness' factor played a big role in coming up with a solution. With the upcoming Concrete Decor Show to be held in Nashvile, this was a perfect opportunity to demonstrate the versatility of concrete and specialized concrete countertop mixes now avaliable.
Using a product called enCOUNTER mix along with an additive enFLOW for water reduction, the fabricator was able to pour one of the trucks (the axle) and a set of wheels each day. 
The platforms of the skateboards themselves were also poured using enCOUNTER with enFLOW water reducer. A reinforcement called EnForce fiber aliong with a six-gauge wire rebar mesh was also used.
The finished skateboards detailed with some creative dying, coloration and some fancy stenciling techniques gives the illusion of a plywood board, metal trucks and rubber wheels. The outcome is nothing short of amazing! Below is a Video How to Skateboard Steps.
