Skateboard

The HUD icon of the Skateboard.

The Skateboard was a weapon and vehicle that was dropped during the development of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was meant to be introduced to the player in the mission Madd Dogg's Rhymes.

There is little leftover data related to riding the skateboard. The skateboard is developed enough that it is specified to which surface is skateable. In the gta3.img file, the animation file for the skateboard exists.

On the other hand, the skateboard does exist as a fully functional weapon except in the PS2 version, where only the HUD icon remains. However, it is normally disabled and cannot be found anywhere. When enabled properly, it appears in one of the game's unused burglary houses.

In GTA Online, a skateboard can be seen on a shelf in one of the rooms of an apartment containing a 10 car garage though it cannot be used.

Trivia

• The Skateboard would have most likely been found in Glen Park Skate Park in Glen Park, Los Santos.
• In the enhanced version trailer of Grand Theft Auto V, a pedestrian is seen riding a skateboard at 0:47, but unfortunately, it didn't make it to the final version of the game. See here
