flowlab skateboard

The Flowlab skateboard looks very very cool. It also looks like something I would probably fall off of immediately.

Apparently, riders use it more like a snowboard, and while it has increased stability over other boards, its slower and is better for riding downhill. These boards have been around since the 90's, but the internet seems to have just found out about them.

light graffiti

Here are some cool shots of light graffiti at a skate park in the UK, photographed by Ben Matthews (apparently he's a dentist too!). The artist had to use exposure times of up to 12 minutes, and he took some wicked cool pictures.

You can see the star trails in this one:

freebording

Ever wanted to go snowboarding without the snow? Now you can, with a Freebord. These unique skateboards allow the rider to skate with no limitations, twist around, and stop just like you would on a snowboard. The board has a special system of wheels that allow for carving, and the rider is strapped in with bindings for easier speed control and less falling off.



Here's a human tetris themed promotional video for the boards which is actually pretty cool in itself:
