At $15,000, this skateboard is a skater's dream deck. As you roll down the city on a sunny day you will splash pristine yellow light around them. Though this skateboard is luxurious, you would be hard-pressed to do any tricks on it; as the weight of the gold will hold your board to the ground. With such a beautiful piece work, you would not want to damage and scratch the gold. Finding a scratch would make you want to weep as a blemish tarnishes the beauty and splendor of this gold-plates skateboard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Skating:** Offering high-end skating equipment for affluent customers. - **Gold-plating Trend:** Using gold as a distinctive and memorable feature on consumer goods. - **Status Symbol Transportation:** Creating luxury modes of transportation to display financial wealth. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports and Recreation:** Creating gold-plated and other high-end sports equipment for wealthy customers. - **Luxury Goods:** Marketing gold-plated consumer goods as exclusive, high-end products. - **Transportation:** Developing luxurious transportation options for affluent individuals as a status symbol. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystallized Streetwear Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-1.md) - [Gold-Plated Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24k-gold-plated-toothbrush.md) - [Limited-Edition Lowrider Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowrider-bike.md) - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Luxurious Wooden Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-wooden-surfboard.md) - [Luxury Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-board-game.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [Gold-Tinted Luxe Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-edition-gwagen.md) - [Gilded Gold Leaf Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-super-combo-pizza.md)
