Finally a skateboard that has realistic animations for the tricks.
Bento animated
Includes 5 sample textures, and full perm templates to add any custom images to the board that you want and share your designs with friends.
Speed boost option to go a bit faster can be toggled on and off.
Board attaches to Left Hind Foot, but it is not rigged and the animations are controlled by the HUD, meaning as long as the HUD is attached you can use anything you want as a board.

This skateboard makes the best use of the latest SL technology to bring you the most realistic skating experience. You can do tricks. Movement around is fluid. Yes, because your bento P or V or Tail or Wings etc. also use the same technology, those must be detached from your avatar for this to work, as the animations of those extra bones would compete with each other, destroying the function of both.
What the board does
So Vaak Board allows you do tricks, has a speed boost that comes with it, but no sound when riding it. It's good just needs to allow the person to grind on stuff and do few tricks like in the Tony Hawk games.
Needs a bit of patience. but works VERY well once things are working.
So when i first attached everything, the board wasn't aligned correctly, and when i would do tricks, the board would go every where. i checked my left hind foot to see if there was anything attached there, there isn't. so i troubleshot a bit. I attached the hud first, then i manually attached the board to my left hind foot. now everything works well. If i were you, TessYrvaak, i would take my words here and maybe update your guide on how to use your skateboard, and or use them as a fix to peoples issues.
Go get it
I had the same issue as some others here too - when I attached the board it was stuck somewhere in mid air.
I suspect it's to do with attachments that use the tail bone animations. When I took off my P and reset the skeleton (right click your avatar for the pie menu then click Appearance>Reset>Skel.and Anim) then reattached the skateboard it was in the right place. My partner had similar issues until she took her V off so if you wear a tail, a penis, a vagina or simply can't work it out take everything off - reset the skeleton and reattach the board. Then add your attachments back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Things to improve:
As mentioned elsewhere some sort of rolling sound would be nice.
An instruction notecard helping out with the issues just mentioned and help with the features - see below - ok who actually reads them - I personally do it when problems arise .
Verdict:
Its a super cool board and loads of fun to use.
The trick anims are super smooth and work like a charm
When you attach the HUD and both boards (the main and the hold one) the switch off button changes from standing to holding the board which is nice and a cool idea.
Fully mod - and the texture templates are great - making it easy to create your own textures
If you want a skate board - go get it
So Cool, So Realistic
What a brilliant product, works perfectly, looks cool, the tricks are awesome and the animations are really good. Love it, thank you, can't recommend it enough. :)
looks ok, but
when u push off, the skateboard turns so you pushing it sideways instead of forward, even if nothing worn on left foot, it will not attatch right and u either puch the skateboard sideways, if you edit that it will roll sideways, waste of money.
