Welcome to Roarockit’s tutorial page! The four categories; Process, Pressure, Materials and Glues are my attempt at comprehensive explanations about boardbuilding for independent builders. These cover many different processes, with lots of tips and information that I have learned over the last 10 years.
The TUTORIALS area is specifically about techniques which relate to our Thin Air Press technology. Anyone interested in shaping foam, using our RockitLam or building drop decks using maple veneers will benefit from these video and photo based tutorials. If you have bought a kit where the instructions are not included this is where you will find the information you need to build your board.

Also below are examples of associations with schools and mentoring programs to show how our Thin Air Press is used in different settings. There are now hundreds of schools using our kits to build skateboards with. If you are using our kits and would like me to post a link to your school site, feel free to email me. ted@roarockit.com
