There have been a variety of new types of skateboards on the market lately, but none has really looked all that interesting to me. As an ex-skateboarder, most of the new in-line an snake skateboards seem to offer limited opportunity for tricks.

These "skates" (a in-line skateboard for each foot, no straps) seem to offer the ability to combine skate moves with skateboarding moves. Plus, they just seem plain impossible which is always good. (via Cool Hunting)
