Decender Tank-Treaded Skateboard (Only Goes Downhill)
Author: James Cliff
This is the Rockboard Decender, a $ 120 skateboard deck with tank treads instead of wheels that can only be ridden down hills (unlike THIS badass mother). Don’t have any hills around your house? GET THE F*** OUT OF THE MIDWEST. Trust me, you’ll thank me for it later. Oooooooor come to my house and try to kill me. Expect a fight. Also, expect to win (I’m only good at shrieking and pulling hair).
Hit the jump for a video of the board in action. Me? I like to ride down hills the old-fashioned way: inside an old tractor trailer.

We don’t know the price or when the system will officially go on sale, but we do know that when mounted on a mountain bike, it looks cooler than other, more pedestrian electric bikes we’ve seen previously. Jump after the break to see the Ego-Kit in action.

Downhill Ski and Snowboard Sim
Author: William Miller
Thanks to OhGizmo! for this one. A pretty cool looking simulator for downhill skiing and snowboarding.
The footprint of the equipment looks a little large for the average gym to start offering but for a training facility it would probably work well. As you can see in the video below, and from anyones experience on the slopes, this would probably offer a great workout and a way to stay in shape in the off season.
