Altered Electric Skateboard M4 800

Posted by Action Isle – May 1, 2008

I've seen many electric skateboards before, but not many have off road tires like this electric skateboard made by Exkate.

The Altered M4 800 has the power and durability needed to go on or off road. The pneumatic tires make it able to handle rough terrain. No need to worry about rocks or sticks in the way of your wheels with this board.

With the wireless handheld accelerator and brake the rider can easily control their speed or accelerate up to an impressive 20mph. Not too many electric skateboards with off-road tires can say that.

Off Road 800 Watt Electric Skateboard Video

Posted by Action Isle – April 17, 2008

Here's a pretty sweet video of a guy riding his 800 watt off-road electric skateboard on some trails. Not sure what brand of electric skateboard it is in the video, but both the UM70sx and the m4 800 are 800 watt electric skateboards with off-road tires.

NPD Landboard – Real All-Terrain Boards Have 8 Wheels

Posted by Action Isle – April 15, 2008

The NPD Landboard had a distinguished uniqueness about it. I'm fairly certain it isn't being made anymore and that it has joined the ranks of the many discontinued boards.

NPD Landboard All-Terrain Board

The all-terrain NPD Landboard had 4 sets of wheels. Most distinguishable about the Landboard was the suspension system it used, called the "QuadFlex."

"Simply mount the QuadFLEX suspension system to almost any skate truck and you're ready to experience the smoothest, most stable ride ever achieved by any skateboard. Only the best materials were chosen for the construction of the QuadFLEX suspension. The frame is aircraft grade aluminum and the axles are corrosion-proof stainless steel. High grade components are used throughout. QuadFLEX instantly adjusts to the slope of the terrain and flexes independently in four directions utilizing four springs. Deadly high-speed wobbles are virtually eliminated by the QuadFLEX design. Stock springs provide a stiff, aggressive suspension for the average weight rider (100-150lbs.). We realize that not everybody is average, or aggressive, and offer custom springs to suit any style of riding for any size rider! QuadFLEX also offers adjustable compression, adjustable height, comes standard on all Landboards and is sold separately."

Half Surfboard, Half Skateboard, Half Shark

Posted by Action Isle – April 15, 2008

Before anyone says anything, I know three halves does not equal one.

That aside, take a look at this board by On Shore Boards called the LandShark.

On Shore Boards LandShark

On Shore Boards currently makes two other boards similar in design to the LandShark. All of their boards have the line of wheels in the front, as well as what is similar to a skateboarding truck in the back with two wheels on each side.

"A cutting edge triple-patented steering system now being introduced in defining a hybrid crossover board sport never before seen or experienced. The On Shore Board, representing a new and unique carving system, is bridging the industries of surfing, snowboarding, inline skating, and longboard skateboarding to deliver an adrenaline ride like no other."

Their board the LandShark is in the middle of their line of boards in terms of size. At 41'' long this unique board is good for transportation purposes as well as carving down mid-sized hills.

C7 Trucks: Skateboarding Gets A Taste Of Surfing

Posted by Action Isle – April 1, 2008

C7 Trucks by Carver Skateboards Exchange your old skateboarding trucks for a pair of C7 trucks and prepare yourself for a whole new experience in skateboarding.

C7 trucks, made by Carver Skateboard, give skateboarding a taste of surfing. The front truck moves in a way a standard skateboard truck cannot. This extra movement gives the board more turning ability along with a surf style riding experience. The C7 truck has a spring built in it that can be adjusted to customize how it rides to the rider's preference.

For surfers looking for a way to bring the surfing experience inland, or skateboarders looking for a different riding experience, check out Carver Skateboard's C7 trucks.
