Mall Grab: a way of incorrectly holding a skateboard (by the trucks), usually done by someone who spends more time carrying their skateboard around ‘the mall’ as a fashion statement.

The objective of this project was to address the challenge of traveling medium to long distances to a skatepark, especially when using a skateboard is impractical. The solution involves a bicycle attachment designed to securely connect to a skateboard. With this attachment, users can cover greater distances and navigate a broader range of terrains more effectively, without compromising saftey.

  • Uprights are versatile and can carry numerous items, more than just a skateboard, e.g. shipping bags

  • Two uprights easily hook around trucks of skateboard for easy interaction

  • Simple attachment and detachment, using nut and bolt and a snap fit allows for all users and different size thicknesses

  • Two attachment pieces allows for security and stops rattling, maximises safety

  • Simple aesthetics allows for wide target market

  • 150mm height allows for slight adjustments in skateboard truck sizes, covering the main sizes

  • Standardised 30mm thread allows for easy replacement of parts

  • 450mm tubing for standard skateboard length

  • Made of PLA - Cheap, strong and high melting point, necessary for outdoor equipment
