O-Shock Skateboard Trucks
Invented by 11-year old Ole Anderson

 

At 11 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. 

Ole created the device the O-Shock which is a suspension system for skateboards to absorb shock. This suspension truck has an adjustable, variable shock absorber to soften the landings, reduce irritating chatter and avoid injuries to riders.

The O-Shock is the only existing suspension system out there for this purpose. This feature can be added to existing skateboards for the casual boarder for almost no cost increase and can be sold as an after market item in the specialty stores for the more serious boarder.

Ole appeared on the Dennis Miller Show 2004 and on KCBS Radio/Bay Area. He has tooled up and produced small quantities of the O-Shock which sold on his website. Ole was awarded a commercialization contract from BKFK in July 2004.
