Abstract:
A method and system for facilitating skateboard and other types of play about a synthetic flooring system, wherein one or more skate components is provided and configured for such use. The skate components may be modular in form, or stand-alone components. In addition, the skate components are intended to interact with the synthetic flooring system, which is configured to enable skateboards, in-line skates, bikes, scooters, and others to traverse across the provided contact surface in a similar manner as with traditional surfaces, such as concrete. As such, the synthetic flooring system is configured with a hard, flat contact surface that is preferably non-abrasive. A pliable layer is provided on the various skate components, and is configured to provide a non-slip interface between the contact surface of the synthetic flooring system and the skate component.
