Production

In an interview with Wakanim, Studio No Border founder Thomas Romain said that after meeting with Bones about Carole and Tuesday, him and the other crew at his studio ran into Suzuki, a producer on the show.^[5] She asked the studio if they were interested in designing skateboards for an original show, of which they ended up agreeing to do.^[5] The skateboards were specifically designed so that they could work if built in real life.^[5] Juliette Mercier, who had previous experience designing skateboards, ended up doing most of the designs. After some small changes, they were approved.^[5] When it came to the decals, they were purposely stylized to be unique to each character in order to symbolize their personalities. Ayumi Kakei did the designs for Reki and Langa's skateboards, with a "pop" style. French comic book artist Loic Locatelli did the decals for Shadow and Joe, while Thomas Romain did Adam's himself.^[5] In total, five different artists from the studio worked on the series, which was a first for them.^[5]

The skaterboarders' moves were also inspired by real people, with one example being Miya's style, which has striking similarities to Rodney Mullen's style.^[6]

Bones also ran a weekly blog for the series, where they shared various concepts sketches by Hiroko Utsumi alongside each episode's release.
