If you want to go anywhere and do anything, then you need a…Nike Ill-Mobile?
The as yet nameless machine is “a souped-up, tricked out, action sports shred-mobile: part amphib, part 1970’s camper, and 100% rock and roll”.
The 8-wheeled ill-mobile can cross deserts, climb mountains, and search out any secret spot on the planet. Once there, it deploys rack mounted bikes, surfboards, wakeboards, and skateboards for any session that you can throw at it.
Can’t find a place to board?
No problem.
Grind rails line the sides, and a quarter pipe folds down from the rear for an impromptu session.
Need to chill for a bit?
Got you covered there too. The ill-mobile has an on deck bbq, a deluxe camper shell, a basement couch front seat, and a stereo to piss the neighbors off with if you ever have any.
The Push series from Element Skateboards takes skateboard design to the next level.
Featuring carbon fiber and featherlight helium, Push Construction is handcrafted from the most technologically advanced materials available for “the best choice in high impact skateboarding”.
The design is made up of a layer of layer of wood with holes that are filled with helium and then sandwiched between more wood and then covered in carbon fiber for durability. The end result is a board that is lighter but also stronger than any other board on the market.
If the Vans Finger Fracture game ever makes it out of concept and into reality, I have no doubt that it will get immediately snapped up by the hoards of iPhone users as the greatest advance in adver-gaming since the BK King made his rounds on a scooter.
By using the iPhone’s unique multi-touch input, players can manipulate their skateboard with lifelike movements, and the Vans message is subtly woven through out.
Conquer the slopes in style with Venom’s Switchboard, a new way to play in the powder.
The Switchboard is a cross between a snowboard, a skateboard, a scooter, and skis, and features a double hinge in the middle for steering, foot straps to lock you in place without the need for special boots, and a shock absorbed steering bar to help you turn the slopes into your own personal board park.
The Wave is a two-wheeled board that lets you surf the streets. By combining the motions of surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding, The Wave has created a new extreme board sport called Street Surfing. Unlike skateboarding, you never have to step off of The Wave to push. Just move your feet back and forth, and The Wave creates motion. Having recently ridden ‘The Wave’, I can definitely say that it is a lot of fun, though starting and turning take some getting used to, and I still feel like there is a definite possibility of destroying an ankle when you fall off. Don’t let a little hospital trip prevent you from trying The Wave though, because soon you’ll be sitting on top of the world.
