Snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding combined
Designer Francesco Sommacal has recently been awarded the Red Dot: luminary design award for his sports equipment that replicates the sensation of snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding.
The 360 consists of two wheels connected by a flexible shaft. The user puts their feet inside the wheels and controls the direction of travel using body movements, as with board sports. The distance between wheels and slant can be adjusted to fit.

More handmade coolness, this time in the shape of these full clothed figures by Coolrain. Barbie Ken they’re not.
The new, handmade ‘Monsterz Crew’ figures of “Andy and P-nix” are both extremely limited to ten each, and are decked out in urban Nike attire. Because of the handmade, branded nature of the articulated, large figures, they’ll cost a whopping $700 each.
