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.

Skateboard – Best Independent Trucks Review!

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

I’ve always felt that Indy Trucks are the best, here’s a couple Independent Trucks we recommend:

indy-1

Indy Truck Stage 9 Silver 139 is pretty decent, at $22.99 over on Amazon. (I didn’t know Amazon sold skateboard trucks, that is way too cool!)

indy-stage-10

Indy Truck Stage 10 Silver 139 is probably even better, you can get a set of 2 for just $39.49 plus free shipping over at Amazon.

indy-129

Indy Truck Stage 9 Silver 129 is probably the best, you can get a set on Amazon for $29.99.
