    Preliminary note: this is updated version 1.1 that removes rider Lucy because judged inappropriate.



    The mod implements 3 boards with wheels (skateboard/longboard):


    and 1 hoverboard:


    There are 4 available riders that can ride them all:


    The movement of the wheels is realistic: when leaning to a side the axles are forced to turn in opposite directions thanks to sloping mounting angle:


    The wheeled boards can be moved in 3 different ways:
    1. Without any engine: you will need to spawn on a downhill and exploit gravity
    2. With a "fake engine": it is a silent engine using thrusters that will give an arcade flavor and allow you to move the board with classic input (up, down, left, right)
    3. With a 50cc engine: funny and noisy motor linked to the rear axle with a flexible belt


    The Hoverboard instead uses various thrusters to implement a realistic height, pitch and roll control that allows you to literally fly everywhere!


    To give more realism I implemented the following gestures
    • Turn the head and upper body facing moving direction​
    • For the wheeled boards help thrusters activated by centrifugal force to reduce falls (in the end the vehicle is tight and tall!)​
    • For the hoverboard possibility to vary the height (preassigned "Y" and "H") and possibility to follow underlying terrain height or keep it fixed. So that it can fly over water. (preassigned "N")​
    • Possibility to set the reference on the board or on the pilot (from the Parts menu). In the event of an accident and separation of the pilot from the board, the camera will follow either one or the other​
    • Modified rider camera to follow direction even when switched 180° (preassigned "7")​
    • Crouch/Stand (preassigned "K")​


    • Jump (preassigned "L")



    • Switch 180° CCW and CW (preassigned "," and ".")



    • Lean in turns to balance the centrifugal force


    And several tuning parameters in Tuning menu to change wheel grip, riders strength, steering angle, top speed ...




    Showcase Video with all features edited original video without scenes of Lucy .. I will miss her :'(

    That's a great way to build credibility. I know this isn't a scam but most people that see gift cards as a payment option immediately steerclear.
    --- Post updated ---
    Glad that the "physics" and the character with the "physics" were removed.

    Yes.
    I was just saying that the skateboard seems like an interesting idea.

    But the log bridge nobody will forget :skull:

    It was basically the vanilla one but shorter and with custom textures & models.
    A neat mod, but not worth paying.

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    See what happens when you objectify women in a video game made for cars? You get what you deserve!

    My review:
    Having bought and paid for this mod it is 100% NOT worth it. The longboard/skateboards just don't function well and they feel VERY janky. I really wanted to give this mod a fair review, so I spent a few days playing around with it when I had time, and I can say without a doubt it just ain't worth the money. At most, I'd spend 99 cents for this, but what I value my money at might be different for others. Personally I just don't see the appeal in the mod, even as a veteran Skate player back in the day. The process of purchasing the mod is very sketchy, I won't lie, but I can say I wasn't scammed. Now as for the mod itself it is fun, and the skateboards/longboards all work just fine, but the thing is how they feel and how they function just isn't what you'd expect. Using the longboard with the 50cc engine is pretty cool, but once you get above like 5mph you've just got a person wiggling like a wacky inflatable tube man on a much-too-damn-big "skateboard." Crashing is visceral, and quite disturbing as well with the human dummies, depending on who you are that might be fun. For me it felt like I was watching shock videos. The weights of the skateboards/longboards are also very very odd. And, OP gets an excuse there, BeamNG does not like super light vehicles, but it just stands to reason that mods like this really have no true purpose in a game like BeamNG. As for how well put together everything is? I mean, it's pretty well made. The quality is decent enough that you can look past the fact that Beam doesn't really give people who make skateboard mods a whole lotta options, and it's not an absolute chore to spawn or use this mod. But, I will say, if you have money you're looking to spend on any mod, don't buy this, it's just not worth it. I'd imagine the average person might enjoy 20 minutes with this mod, and then realize BeamNG just isn't the place for skateboards because they don't function well, but that might be different for some of you. All in all if I had to rate this mod all around, (1-10, 10 being like Hirochi CCF2 remaster) I'd say it's a solid 5. It loses points for being paid, it loses points because of the odd choices of the author, it loses points because it doesn't feel right, but it gains points in being quality, somewhat fun, easy to use, and being a sort of novelty. Now, I fully expect this comment to be removed (that's the state of BeamNG these days) but I wanted to make an honest review and purchase this mod just because I know a lot of people (including myself) had a lot to say about it, and it wasn't all positive.

    I also just wanted to add, if I had any recommendations to anyone looking to buy this mod, just go back to Skate. It's more fun, you can actually do tricks, and the ragdoll physics are considerably better than BeamNG's dummy physics. BUT, if you wanna see a car going 100mph into a dude on a skateboard then ya totally buy this.

    Keep in mind, I purchased this mod when "Lucy" (the naked woman) was still part of the configs.

    Edit: Forgive me, my sunk cost fallacy is showing. 5-10 is a VERY generous review reading back. I'd say it's more of a 3-10 if I had to give it a Doug Score. Or an Ova Score. But I think for the average person going into this with no expectations and no experience with skate, then ya it'll be like a 5/10.

    No problem. I wanted to be real instead of just dissing on the guy for the nude woman or lack of reason as to why someone would even make this mod. I'm probably honestly is 3rd buyer. And I'm quite proud of it. Still can't recommend it tho to your average Beam player. If it were free totally ya but not in it's current state.

    She was nude? I didn't know that. Also I'm pretty sure the skateboard mod from 10 years ago is 100x better albeit is a (probably) 4:1 scale replica of a skateboard

    Well in my vernacular, she was nude, in a more technical sense, she was wearing a skimpy bra and small panties. In other words, absolutely creepy and uncalled for.

    so he couldn't even just leave the model as itself like in Agent_Y's dummy mod instead of only making her look just partially nude?

    Hello,
    I accept your critics and I am sorry you are not happy of the mod. But your review is not talking about the hoverboard, did you try it?
