Recently I had an idea about my transportation back home from work. From work to my house is just over two miles down a long curvy hill. As my profile says I like extreme sports and love to climb, mountain bike, etc. Well I had thought it might be fun to get a longboard and skate down the hill (I am not a skateboarder and don't pretend to be, but I've been told that longboarding is quite different to skateboarding). Because the hill is quite curvy I have since found that stopping on a longboard at speed requires one to slide along the ground with your hands (with padding) acting as a third point of contact. This is not as controlled as I had hoped. But I found something even better... freebording - a snowboard with wheels. Check it out for yourself http://www.freebord.com/ . I've had to added this to my gotta do list. No more waiting for the winter to hit the slopes!
