The Shred Sled – “The Ultimate Casterboard”

Posted by – March 20, 2009


The Shred Sled is like all the other caster boards out there (ripstik, wave board, s-board, the list goes on) but it adds a little something extra to the mix by throwing in two more wheels.

Other caster boards like the ripstik only have two wheels, the shred sled has four.  This is said to give the rider more control, make it easier to ride, and smoother as well.

The Shred Sled Specs

  • It brings the thrills and carving movements of snowboarding to the streets.
  • It has a cool feel--combination of snowboarding and skateboarding.
  • Can quickly go uphill. It's easy
    to propel the SHRED SLED. You don't even have to push off!
  • 4 INLINE wheels have much more control than 2 wheels.
  • The 4-80mm polyurethane wheels and ABEC-5 Bearings are SMOOTHER and STRONGER and rarely need to be replaced. (unlike other boards)
  • The concave decks make for better foot control.

Pumgo Skateboard: No Kicking Required

Posted by – March 17, 2009

The Pumgo skateboard is a kick-less skateboard where the rider pumps the board back and forth to propel themselves forward.

It kind of looks like a seesaw for your feet.

Apparently the Pumgo is not only fun to ride, but it also gives your core muscles a great workout. 

Riding it requires core strength to remain balanced while pumping the Pumgo back and forth.

Tribred: Electric Trikke

Posted by – March 16, 2009

The Trikke is a pretty sweet cross between a scooter and skates. 

While the methods of propelling it are a bit tricky for me to describe, it doesn't look very hard to use, and you can get going fairly fast. 

Now that they have released the Tribred and the E-Kit it it is even easier to get around faster.

The Tribred is a Trikke with a little added bonus. You can propel it yourself, with the electric motor, or you can do both.

The E-Kit is for current Trikke owners who want to make theirs electric. The Tribred and Trikkes with the E-Kit installed can go up to 17 mph for up to 12 miles.
