Skateboard controls

I don't know what to choose... Character controller or just normal mesh collider+ rigibody or wheel colliders etc..

Also if someone has a basic working script please share (:

You shouldn't need a mesh collider for a skateboard; a box collider should do the trick.

I also prefer not to use unity's built-in scripts. They often do more than you need. Especially when you're making a skateboard that needs to roll and have inertia.

I'd go box, wheels and rigidbody, but stay away from mesh colliders for non-static geometry.
