Say hello to the most ridiculous concept that the ‘skateboard’ has ever been associated with. We endure many shit contraptions annually from people who think they have re-invented the wheel, but this one is just damn insulting.

These are $99 and come with a lifetime guarantee – that you will become the biggest bellend the second your feet slot into the ring piece.
