Pump-up Your Ride

Ah…the pleasure of a skateboard! A teen’s companion and a worrying mother’s bane, this piece of board has transformed form a plane plank to a glitzy glam doll with finesse. Right now lets take a look at another kind that markets itself as a Pumpboard. Rolling up like a licorice wheel, this board can be pumped up with compressed air to make it a taut steady ride.

According to Maciej, you need to detach the rear axel before rolling the board up. I wouldn’t say that I’m totally sold on this concept, but it does make the skateboard very portable and easy to stow.
