Shark Tank VibeRide Update 2026

Carson MacDonald and his friends loved skateboarding, but going downhill in their hilly Utah neighborhood often ended in crashes. To fix that, they built VibeRide, a skateboard with a foot-controlled brake that helps riders stop safely. Will the guys get a deal? Let’s find out in our VibeRide update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to VibeRide after Shark Tank.

Charlie, Chris, and Carson entered Shark Tank Season 15, seeking $250,000 for 10% equity in their skateboard company. After their pitch, they left with a deal from Mark Cuban for $250,00 for 12% equity.

In terms of a VibeRide update, the company also introduced an electric longboard for $499, added brake kits, scooters, and apparel. Furthermore, Charlie was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2025.

Shark Tank VibeRide Pitch

Entrepreneurs: Charlie Cannon, Chris Goodhue, and Carson Macdonald
Business: Skateboard with brakes
Ask: $250,000 for 10% equity
Result: $250,000 for 12% equity
Shark: Mark Cuban

Charlie, Chris, and Carson entered Shark Tank with VibeRide, a skateboard brand that includes built-in brakes.

According to them, everything on wheels should have a way to stop safely. Skateboards didn’t. So they fixed it.

To prove it works, Charlie rode down a ramp while Chris held a stop sign at the bottom. Charlie braked just in time, stopping inches from Chris.

The sharks seemed pretty impressed, especially when the guys handed custom boards to each of them.

The brake system works through a foot lever on the back of the board. When pressed, it activates brake pads that make contact with the wheels.

Additionally, it’s been tested at speeds up to 50 MPH, so the guys say that experts love the product.

In terms of products, their Pro Brake kit retails for $149. With the full board, it retails for $259.

They also have two other models that range from $129 to $189. Margins run at 63% across all products.

Kevin O’Leary asked how many customers buy just the brake kit versus the full board. They said it’s split evenly, but they prefer selling boards since profits are higher.

Guest shark Candace Nelson asked why skateboards didn’t already have brakes. The founders didn’t have a clear answer but shared that they hold six patents protecting their design.

As far as sales go, two months before filming, they opened for presales. In that time, they’ve done a little over $150,000 in sales.

Further, they also anticipate ending the year with at least $600,000 in sales altogether.

Lori Greiner was very impressed by the entrepreneurs and asked to know their backgrounds.

In response, Charlie explained that he had already sold one company for $3 million and grown another to $15 million in sales.

He had worked with Chris and Carson for years. Chris brought engineering skills, and Carson handled branding and marketing.

Charlie went on to say that he had invested $1.2 million of his own money into the business. This included $450,000 to buy out brake-related patents from the only other company that had ever tried something similar.

Mark Cuban heard all he needed to and made an offer. He offered $250,000 for 15% equity.

Charlie countered with $350,000 for the same equity. Mark adjusted to $250,000 for 12% equity.

Again, Charlie tried for $265,000 at 12% equity, but Mark stood firm. With that, they accepted his offer before the other sharks could make an offer or bow out.

So, what happened after Shark Tank? Keep reading our VibeRide update to find out!

Shark Tank VibeRide Update

Based on recent research for our VibeRide update, we can’t confirm if the deal with Mark successfully closed or not, as there is no public confirmation to that effect.

As of June 2024, VibeRide had expanded its offerings and redesigned its signature Cruiser BrakeBoard based on customer feedback.

The new model featured interchangeable wheels, new deck shapes, and was launched officially later that month.

Their flagship product, The BrakeBoard, sells for around $279 to $349 and includes a 40″ Canadian maple deck, ceramic disc brake, ABEC-7 bearings, and high-end trucks from the same factories used by Arbor and Globe.

They also offer brake retrofit kits for $169 and a new electric longboard for $499. Riders can now try the BrakeBoard with a 30-day free trial.

They’ve since added even more to the catalog, including electric scooters and an “Explorer” board, along with branded apparel. All of this can be found on their website.

Their Instagram account has grown to over 11,000 followers. In July 2025, they hosted local skate meetups in Los Angeles through their second Instagram account @viberidela.

They also ran city-based ride events through @viberidegrantpark, centered in Atlanta.

Charlie was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2025.

If you want to try out an electric board or scooter with real stopping power, check out their full line at their official website.
