A new type of "skateboard" that has a swivel joint in the middle, making it possible to lean the board in different directions at the same time. Its very weird to get the hang of, but once it clicks the board turns very sharply and quickly. It also allows you to pump far more affectively and I've often seen kids riding up hills by twisting and pumping the board. I'm starting to get the hang of it and its a load of fun.

Is this THE coolest bike in the world or what ! Well I thought so when we spotted it at a local garage sale last weekend. The kids took a little more convincing. We bought it, cleaned it up, tightened some nuts, pumped up the tyres and then everyone wanted to ride it ! Cool..

I've also become a big fan of the ripstick!
