Hello – product designer … where are the breaks?

This is the skatecycle–the next generation recreational vehicle that won an International Design Excellence Award and a permanent place in the Henry Ford Museum. Evoking the first-of-its-kind innovative spirit of the famous American industrialist, it combines the foot control of snowboarding, the balanced turning of skateboarding, and the nimble, undulating movements of casterboarding. Providing an easy transition for those who already participate in any of the three sports, both feet are placed onto two slip-resistant footboards, and its double-jointed, twisting axle allows riders to move either of the 9" polyurethane wheels individually by twisting the feet inwards and outwards.

Hope this didn’t catch on – don’t want our cities to get invaded by these humongous skateboards.

Right after Christmas I saw couple of kids giving their new skateboards a try. A sight of couple of necks nearly getting broken. Maybe this flowboard is a good start, to learn holding the balance before switching to the board with just 4 rolls.

Surf without waves. Carve without snow. And turn a lot of heads with a board that loves concrete.

  • Unique, skateboard-style deck that recreates the feeling of snowboarding/surfing on concrete
  • Patented Deep Carve System (DCS) features 14-wheel, arched setup that allows you to carve 45-degree angles with fluid, edge-to-edge motion, preventing wheel bite and bushing resistance
  • The same heel-to-toe motion of snowboarding or surfing
  • Great off-season training device for keeping in top shape
  • 7-ply, maple deck with grip tape, urethane wheels and steel bearings
  • Deck features symmetrical design with concave cut
  • Fully assembled DCS truck set with mounting hardware and risers makes assembly a snap
  • Wheels are 61mm x 24mm

For the lazy street punk.

The SkateMaster FT1 is no ordinary skateboard! Unlike conventional skateboards the SkateMaster FT1 is electric and has a powerful motor attached with a cordless transmitter to accurately control your speed.

Gone are the days when you need to push your skateboard with one leg to get speed up, just squeeze the trigger on the cordless remote control and off you go.

It might seem like a skateboard for lazy people but with the arrival of the SkateMaster FT1, virtually anyone can hop onboard and look like an expert Skateboarder in seconds. The concept is the still basically the same in that you steer by leaning to either side, but because the motor speed is controlled by your hand, you can spend more time concentrating on the direction you want to go.

The SkateMaster FT1 is powered by a sealed DC electric motor which will accelerate and decelerate the board meaning that the speed can be precisely controlled using the handheld remote control unit. The SkateMaster FT1 should be used on smooth terrain and in dry conditions to protect the delicate electrical components inside.

Just use double sticky tape instead of the head-strap and off you go to scare your grandmother and video-tape her while she freaks out.

Smaller than a golf ball, this ultralight spherical video camera attaches to a headband, providing a third eye while biking, hiking, or during other activities. The camera’s sensor captures images at 320 x 240 resolution at 30 fps (the built-in microphone records audio). Up to 1,200 still images and six hours of video can be saved onto the included 8GB micro SD memory card. Images and video are downloaded to your PC via a USB cable (requires PC running Windows with USB 2.0).

It can also be connected to a TV for viewing images and video using the included cable. The rechargeable battery provides up to 2 1/2 hours of continuous operation from an eight-hour charge using the included USB cable. The camera can also be set to record images and video when it detects movement, preserving battery life.
