Both You And Your Kid Will Get A Kick Out Of The Longboard Stroller

Are you going to be the boring parent that shuttles his child around in an old fashioned stroller? Four wheels and two handle bars cutting it for you? Yeah, we didn’t think so. That’s why we’re digging the Longboard Stroller. It’s pretty self-explanatory. It’s still under development, so the features and construction isn’t finalized, but it’s pretty clear that once it’s completed (or if), it’ll be one badass mode of transportation/baby carrier. How legal it’ll be, how much it’ll cost and whether it’ll even ever see light of day are questions we’re not able to answer at the moment. Feel free to follow the link below to find out more about the project.

Chewbacca Skateboard

chewbacca skateboard Chewbacca SkateboardLooks like the Wookie won. The aptly named Let the Wookie Win skateboard, created by Geoff McCleary, is a 44″ longboard inspired by the inimitable Chewbacca. Hand painted bandolier on raised wood and (allegedly faux) Wookie fur on top of a pressed Canadian maple deck with 7″ Core trucks and Bigfoot wheels make this a Force to be reckoned with. Also looks cool as hell as a wall hanger. A $299 one. (dudeiwantthat via gizmodo)

SNAP Longboard Folds In Half For Easy Transport

Posted on by

Longboards are great for cruising city streets with relative ease. Not for us, of course: we’d end up dead or dismembered. But that’s not relevant. What is important is to mention that while longboards are great, they’re not easily transported in cramped environments due to them being, well, long. The SNAP longboard however features two specialized hinges that trim its 38 inch length down to 19 when folded. That’s compact enough to fit in a backpack or a carry-on bag. The drawback of course is that if you want to use the board as more than a cruising vehicle, you could run into trouble; it stays straight and solid as long as the wheels are planted on the ground with your weight on top. If for instance you plan to grind it down a rail slide, they might fold up on you and that’d be bad. Then again, longboards aren’t meant for that kind of stuff anyway.

The company sells the board bare so you can fit your own hardware on it, or fully decked out with 83mm wheels, 180mm trucks and ABEC 9 bearings. It’s $140 for the former and $190, the latter.
