Hey there… I’ve been wanting to make a skateboard for a while and decided to attempt it. I ran into a issue where I have no idea how I could move the skateboard. At the moment I’m using a “Vehicle Seat” so then I can I get values easily. Now I want to know the best way I can attempt to get it moving whether using body movers or CFrame/Positioning. Thanks.

you cant make a skateboard out of a car. But a good method you could try is Body Movers/constraints
You can use SkateboardPlatforms to do this. It has the same properties as a vehicle seat but makes the player enter “PlatformStand” (unable to exit board unless scripted) and makes it all around easier to animate. From there, use the values to push them along use body velocities and gyros for turning. You could also look at the source code for the old skateboard gears as a reference for moving them.
The top of that page states that it is deprecated, says do not use this for new work, and suggests using a vehicle seat! 
Yes, I know this. I suggested skateboard platforms as it doesn’t make the player sit. It puts them into platform stand instead which is a bit easier to work with imo. It also positions them above the board standing rather than making them sit. Because of this, it allows you to animate the player easier as well.
