O-Shock Skateboard Trucks
Inventor: Ole
Invented at age: 11
He saw a problem:
Ole was out doing what he loved to do, skateboarding,
and he took a jump and landed hard and broke his foot.
There was not enough spring in a skateboard to absorb
a hard landing when going over jumps.
 He
had an idea:
To build a suspension truck for a skateboard that had
a shock absorber to soften the landings and avoid injuries
to riders.
He developed it:
He worked with his father to build the “O-shock”
the only existing suspension system for skateboards to
absorb shock.
The idea was a hit:
He holds 2 U.S. Patents for his device.
