This study focuses on the pressure distribution on the skateboard surface, which is considered to have a significant influence on skateboarding, and aims to develop a system to support beginners in acquiring skills by providing feedback on the gap between failure and success in skateboarding. In this paper, we report on the development of a resistive pressure distribution sensor, the evaluation of the sensor, and the characteristics of different levels of skateboarding skill through experiments. As a result of the experiment, it was found that there is a big difference between experienced and inexperienced skateboarders in the magnitude of the blurring of the center of pressure (COP) in the straight motion of skateboarding.
