Abstract: Adhesive antiskid material suitable for use with traction sensitive applications (such as a skateboard deck) is described herein. The adhesive antiskid material includes pieces that are visually distinguishable from each other. An adhesive patch layer of the adhesive antiskid material maintains the pieces in a single sheet for handling and application to the object of interest. The adhesive antiskid material may include a graphics layer and a clear or translucent filler grip piece that is applied over the graphics layer. This option allows stickers, advertisements, company logos, pictures, or any design element to be incorporated into the adhesive antiskid material itself.

Abstract: A skateboard deck includes a hole or cavity formed therein, which is filled with a clear, transparent, or translucent filler material that does not significantly alter the structural integrity of the deck. The filler material forms a window or a translucent insert in the deck. In one practical embodiment, an object (or objects) is located within the window or translucent insert. The object may be a decal corresponding to the brand, manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of the skateboard deck, an active electronic component, or any suitable feature, compound, apparatus, device, or material.
