What’s New In Extreme Sports Equipment?
By Joel Paige

Find sports equipment, sporting goods and outdoor gear at the best sports shops.

Do you like to skateboard? We found the coolest alternatives to your basic skateboard. The Waveboard is a cross between snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing. It’s the only non motorized skateboard we found that actually lets you go uphill! It will take some practice to get it going, but once you get the hang it’s a blast. Here is an interesting side note…the waveboard comes with an Allen wrench which is used to tighten and loosen the mid-section. Make sure you use it to loosen the mid-section before attempting to ride it. I spent two hours trying to get the hang of the Wave, most of it on the ground, only to discover my latest hint to you. The company that manufactures the waveboard has a “How to Ride” section.

Skateboarding and inline skating, do you like them both? This next product is like the Reece’s Cup of extreme sports. You know chocolate and peanut butter mixed together. That is what happened with Freeline Skates. Someone got these two sports mixed up! Let me explain, you have two small platforms, one for each foot. Each platform has two wheels under it, no straps or bindings. Your body is the only thing connecting the platforms together. To look at them you would think it would be almost impossible to stand on. A quick look on YouTube will find video of Freeliners everywhere. I could not believe the things people were doing with these skates. It is incredible! I give these skates a 10 for best innovation of a street skate to date. Also if you are an avid skateboarder, Freeline skating will improve your skills. That is Awesome!
