Designers invent world’s biggest skateboard - PHOTOS

21 July 2012 [10:17] - TODAY.AZ
Designers have taken the mantra 'bigger is better' to gigantic extremes and created the world's largest skateboard, measuring a staggering 36ft 7in long.

It is an exact replica of a normal skateboard but is 12 times longer, wider and taller.

The world record-breaking skateboard is so big it has to be fitted with racing tyres from a car and transported on a flat bed truck.

It cost over £12,6000 to make, weighs 260 stones and can transport up to ten people at a time.

Three people spent one month making the board from steel, wood and grip tape in California, United States.

Joe Ciaglia, a director of California Skateparks, designed the board, which measures 3ft 7in tall and 8ft wide.

He said: 'The board is about fun - it was fun to build, it is fun to ride and it is fun to see everyone's reaction to it.'
