Flowlab Skateboard Dishes out 45 Degree Carves

by Jay Garrett on July 26, 2010

Here’s another new way to possibly injure yourself.

This is the Flowlab skateboard which comes from the twisted minds of Mike and Maaike in collaboration with Pieter Schouten.

Speaking as someone that attempted to ride skateboards but, after spending more time face-to-asphalt than on-board I opted for the slightly less scary BMX (but still have scars on knees and elbows from borked jumps and stuffing my bike into trees, etc) I found the 25 degree lean that conventional skateboards can manage plenty enough thank you very much.

Well, for those speed junkies and assorted mentalists out there – the Flowlab allows you to carve at 45 degrees thanks to its arched axle cleverness!!!

The Flowlab Skateboard allows you to surf without waves and ride without snow.

So if you nutters want to have a go just contact these danger designers and perhaps add more padding ;)

OZO Easy Glider – Get Dragged Around on an Electric Chariot, or Skates, or Skateboard

by Jay Garrett on April 13, 2010

The Yike is cool and, to me, says upmarket – even city.

If you’re looking for something more ‘urban’ may I take this opportunity to introduce OZO’s Easy Glider?

It looks like Mad Max’s chariot but this electric transport is fairly portable and can be used with your skateboard, in-lines or even your unicycle as well as the ‘Char’ – that’s the little chariot bit by-the-way ;)

The Easy Glider comes in kids and adult guises and the 360W motor will drag you for somewhere between six and 12 miles at a top speed of 20kph

It weighs around 32kg and stopping comes thanks to brakes on both front and back wheels (if you have the Char hooked up) – it even uses the downhill mometum to recharge the batteries as you go.

My favourite bit is the fact that it has a soundsystem! Attach your mp3 player of choice to the integrated steeringbar and connect it to the sound system. 4×10 watt speakers will provide your choooooonz!

Thanks to the foldable steeringbar and the compact size of only 50 x 30 cm, the easyglider can be shoved in most car boots should the British weather turn nasty and you’re offered a lift.

The adult version comes in five different colours and costs £725

Picture the scene. You’re out walking and day-dreaming when, suddenly, from out of nowhere you find that you’re surrounded by an elite mercenary army sent to ‘neutralise’ you.

New Nintendo DS…….?

Word on the street is that July will see the unveiling of the DS Extreme at the E3 gaming expo in the States.  It’s rumoured that they’re not going to bother with the GBA port – this means that it won’t be backwards compatible with GameBoy Advance games but allows for a slimmer design and lower price.
