A QUICK MESSAGE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ABOUT OUR INVENTORY AVAILABILITY ESTIMATE:
Hello and Greetings ESK8ers!
Our updated estimate for the release and availability of the SHOCBOX and the TRICK-STICK is now early to mid 2025. We have been diligent and busy getting ready for the volume production process which includes several manufacturers; however, a different production facility is now required for the fabrication of the Torsion Spring component which has delayed our projected inventory until after the New Year. Thank you so much to everyone for continued interest and patience while we continue to progress toward the official first available inventory.
David & Beth,
Shoc Board Systems, LLC.

TRICK-STICK
Introducing the TRICK-STICK for E-boards! The first of its kind ESK8 product to offer the advantage of a utility handle and foot control point together in one innovative system. Experience improved convenience and capability with our TRICK-STICK dual-use grip and transform almost any name brand E-board to a more advanced performance ESK8 platform.
The TRICK-STICK is a patent pending hand and foot control system for ESK8 platforms featuring a custom grip pivot.
Made from 6061 T6 Aluminum CNC Black Anodized main body components, the TRICK-STICK is strong and reasonably lightweight only adding about 1.5lbs to an E-board.*
The TRICK-STICK features simple installation onto the top plate of nearly every ESK8 name brand truck assembly with a universal mounting screw pattern employed in the design. Each kit will include three complete sets of screw fastener lengths to accommodate different board deck dimensions.**
The TRICK-STICK pivoting custom grip can be repositioned to five different secured locations using a detent lever mechanism.
There are two opposed 45-degree outboard settings allowing the rider to use the grip as a handle for pulling the board around in ‘pedestrian mode’; these 45-degree locations can be positioned on either side of the board to facilitate a preferred walking stance (right or left).
The centered outboard location is a ‘passive’ position for securing the grip out of the way when the system is not in use.
The two opposed 15-degree inboard settings are used to position the grip above the foot instep, functioning as a control point to allow manipulation of the board while riding; each 15-degree position is a preference for rider orientation regarding a ‘regular’ or ‘goofy’ stance.
The inboard locations of the grip (comparable to a foot binding) enable a rider to perform advanced maneuvers like bunny hops, wheelies, and much higher drops. The inboard grip locations can also give the rider a greater amount of steering control and assist stability by providing more dependable contact with the board deck.
The custom grip is formed from 40A TPE to produce a ‘sticky and soft’ material optimized for gripping with hands and sustaining contact friction against a shoe instep. The grip is a single lock-on clamp configuration and can be secured into position with a slightly pitched angle to match the riders foot profile more comfortably and effectively.
The TRICK-STICK will be supplied with a set of 5mm spacers and 10mm spacers which can be used individually or coupled together to provide 15mm of additional height to customize installation for diverse boards and riders.
The TRICK-STICK also has an adjustable inboard and outboard placement position of up to 25mm with a sliding top plate function for further customization and compatibility with different board profiles and dimensions.
