For those of you commuters who want to skateboard to school or work, you might just be able to do that in style with the OrbitWheels.  They are compact enough to fit in your backpack so you don’t have to bring your skateboard to school or work.

I find that these OrbitWheels could keep your skateboard/snowboard muscles in shape during regular days.

Price: $114.88 at Amazon

The Orbitwheel actually looks pretty easy to ride, but then I said that about the skateboard when I first saw one and quickly proved myself wrong with a comedy, tooth-cracking faceplant. The hub-less wheels mean you have the bump-soaking abilities of a large wheel combined with a low sense of gravity and, as the instructional video (below) tells us, you can pump your way along in a skateboard tic-tac motion.
