Abstract: An illuminated skateboard is disclosed including a light string, configured to produce light, mounted about a peripheral edge of a deck. The peripheral edge of the deck extends between a top surface and a bottom surface of the deck. The illuminated skateboard also includes a pair of trucks each having a pair of wheels for supporting the deck, and a driver circuit coupled between an electrical power source and the light string. The driver circuit provides electrical power from the electrical power source to the light string. A method for making the illuminated skateboard is also described.

Abstract: An illuminated sports board has a riding platform having a top surface and a bottom surface, a microcontroller mounted on the top surface, a power source operably connected to the microcontroller, an electro-luminescent sheet positioned on the riding platform, an electrical circuit electrically connecting the microcontroller to the electro-luminescent sheet, and a translucent resin layer covering both the riding platform and the electro-luminescent sheet.
