Flying Dragon Board Project
Why Create a Dragon Skateboard?
Dragons have been a part of the human lexicon for eons. They have inspired the imagination and been a tale of caution around the world. By merging the image of a dragon with the practical transportation of an electrical skateboard I hope to inspire people to consider where personal transportation belongs on our roadways and in our urban areas. Should environmentally friendly personal transportation be a part of our lives? Or are they mysterious creatures that must ‘fly’ at the peripheries of our transportation infrastructure?
The goal of the Dragon Board is to create an icon of electric and self-powered transportation that inspires people to think about where these vehicles belong on our roads. The Dragon Board is meant to catch the imagination of onlookers and welcome people to open their minds to what skateboarding can mean to them.
