Why we made TruckStop
Skateboarding should be fun.
We wanted to eliminate one of the most difficult & dangerous aspects of skating for beginners: braking. Existing techniques and solutions just don't cut it. They are either too advanced or cumbersome to work well. That's what inspired us to create Truckstop.
