so this is going to be kind of difficult to explain but i saw this kid on campus today. there were any straps or anything but he had two wheels on each foot(and not like traditional skateboard wheel configuration but all in a straight line).

this kid just cruised by me unexpectedly so i didnt get a great look at it
does anyone have any idea what this was?

i have no clue what they are, but theres a few people ive seen on campus with them. basically its 2 mini skateboards is the best i can describe them, with 2 wjeels in a row on each. but instead of the wheels facing forward(like in rollerblades) theyre sideways and the people ride them by like thrusting theyre hips and legs back and forth almost liek theyre walking, but going sideways down the road. theres some people who are really good on them on my campus but im not too sure what they are

it was not a ripstick.
the wheels were almost like a ripstick except there were two on each side.
and there was nothing in the middle

Is it connected in the middle, or is there one for each foot? I watched some vids on Youtube of these skate things that go on each foot but you ride sideways, I'll see if I can find it
