Skateboards are GREEN

Making Skateboards is even GREENER!

Roarockit Skateboard kits are composed of locally available materials. Especially the all-important maple veneer, which is grown, harvested and milled in the very long, very cold winters of north 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 and the skateboard carbon footprint:

• the best skateboard wood in the world is locally grown (specifically Canadian) hard maple veneer

• maple logs are simply rotary cut into sheets and kiln dried

• wood is not heavily processed with bleaches, pesticides and glues (like bamboo)

• transport of materials is local, not off-shore

• no power tools are used for this 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

• 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

• using locally grown, harvested and manufactured products keep our local economies strong
