WOW! GUYS CHECKOUT THE LATEST GENERATION OF SKATEBOARD. THIS IS AMAZING!!

When a product shows up on the pages of the
Hammacher Schlemmer catalog, you know it's
bound to be entertaining. The Post Modern
Skateboard certainly fits that description. You
might notice the almost complete lack of
resemblance to a skateboard as we know it. This
product consists of two 10-inch round wheels
with foot platforms inside.
A better description would be "annular skates."
"Annular" just means ring-shaped. "Skates" is
self-explanatory. Forward movement is created
by leaning side to side, a process that looks like
it would take some practice. An extendable rod
is included to connect the two skates together
for easier learning.
A demonstration video shows practiced riders
cruising down sidewalks, making tight spins and
rolling over grass lawns.
The $99.95 (about £68, AU$131) Post Modern
Skateboard seems to be more spiritually akin to
a caster board than to a skateboard. A caster
board is a two-wheeled, human-powered vehicle
with a board that rotates in the center. The
serpentine motion required to get it to move
looks a lot like what's needed to propel the Post
Modern Skateboard.
This may lead to some deep philosophical
questions. Is it really a skateboard if it has no
board? Why isn't it available in glowing "Tron"
colors? Will it ever be accepted at the X-Games?
The Post Modern Skateboard may never become
the phenomenon rollerblades were in the late
'80s, but it could become the perfect vehicle for
expressing your postmodern personal-
transportation angst.
