Didn't the loaded hammerhead have a set of wheels like the wheels on that last picture? It had one regular truck and then the back had that wheel setup Similar tot he last picture. Could be wrong though.
freebord actually is pretty fun, but only if you have a massive hill. for instance I rode one down a 4 or 5 mile mountain road that you would literally die on with a longboard because of switchbacks. and it actually feels kinda like snowboarding. all the fun of bombing a hill with lower consequence because you can stop
Randomly got to a video of these on YouTube the other night. The guy who 'designed' them started rambling on about how his friend 'engineered' them, the reality sounds like the guy dreamt it up and then he proceeded to make his buddy in school do all of the work while he took credit for it. At that it took them SIX FUCKING YEARS to develop these trucks. That's an absurdly long time to develop such a simple and shitty product. I'm fairly certain I could weld and machine a set in a day if I wanted to.
In my head at least it seems like it would be hard to turn. I mean the wheels are set so you can lean simply but to actually get a nice turn it doesn't seem like it would work so well. I'd be interested to try one and see what the hell happens though
Why do people who have no idea about skate boarding pay other people who have no idea about skate boarding to build skate parks? like god damn even if i didnt skate most of these just look like they would be a terrible idea.
