You can make your own if you have access to some basic machines, otherwise, they’re more than worth it.
Have you ever gone 50mph up a hill on a skateboard with the feeling of total stability? If not, consider a price tag you may put on that experience if it were something you were into.
To my knowledge, you’re paying for the 4+ years of constant extreme testing & revision of the design by some of the fastest skaters in the world (seriously, have been ridden by dude who held #2 downhill world record as of 2018)
along with the wealth of knowledge & documentation of technique that comes with that. Just taking into account raw metal… no, it’s not that much money worth of metal. There are more than a few machining operations though, & those stack up a bit.

Is that a rip off or are they genuinely that much harder to make?
