Street Surfing The Wave

July 1, 2006 on 12:38 am | In Sports |

Last weekend I went down to Calgary to visit my friends Top and Jared. Top had this really cool board that was sorta like a skateboard but only had two wheels. There are 360 degree rotating wheels on each end with a torsion bar in the middle. The interesting thing about it was that you could just wiggle to propel it so you never had to put your feet on the ground. I tried it and it was loads of fun so I had to get one. You can check out their website for a cheesy video. Also, I have another another vid and more weekend pics, and more street surfing videos. I’ve riden it so much over the last three days that I’ve already worn down the wheels quite a bit. I think it may be due to my very agressive carving on the really steep parts of the city. Places like the hill going down to the high level bridge, or the hill on Saskatchewan Drive that connects to 99th st on the south side of the river.

Here’s a video of Top riding it:
