To underscore the fact that Microsoft’s Surface is extremely sturdy, Windows boss Steven Sinofsky slapped a pair of skateboard trucks and soft longboard wheels on the tablet and rode it around a little bit. Here’s the photo he tweeted of himself trying to shred on the Surface. Since he runs Windows, which is Microsoft’s most important product, he’s probably the company’s most important employee, which is why he’s protecting his noggin with a helmet. For what it’s worth, this has been done with the original iPad. But this was by real skateboarders who rode it on a mini ramp.

Tweet by Steven Sinofsky, “Couldn’t resist taking it out for a spin…”

Built To Shred host Jeff King and pro skater Chad Knight test the new iPad 64 Gig. They take it from the work shop to the field and answer the question we’ve all wondered about the new iPad…Will It Shred? See for yourself.
