The concept is so out there, I don’t know if it even qualifies as a wacky skateboard anymore. I’d love to see one of these things get built. If it does, you can bet it will show up on Dydreks Fantasy Factory. The LOOP IN looks like an excellent way for someone to get hurt. No brakes!
LOOP-IN is a concept transportation system crafted by combining the surfing and the skate facility. The rider can enjoy the ultimate speed on the wheels and can do some surfing acrobatics at the same time. While the wheels can rotate on almost any type of surface, the plate will rotate in its interior independently. It is like pushing by a wave continuously. Initially, the rider will have to acquire the abilities to dominate the control of these wheels on any kind of lands and at the same time learning to keep balance inside the wheels is a must. Therefore, all range of adventure lovers will like the combination of these two sports activities when riding on LOOP-IN.

to fit a full sized human, those wheels must be 6ft tall or so, making for a monstrosity of a contraption, like close to the size of a golf cart, I think I will stick with my simple skateboard for dummies 🙂

How would this turn? I could see a bicycle turned into something like this, but not a skateboard.

Reminds me of that South Park where Mr. Garrison builds the gyro-wheeled vehicle with the accelerator and steering “sticks” that insert…

This has to be the weirdest yet – if it ever gets made that is. Has to be some Chinese students design project. I can’t imagine that is really something being worked on by Quiksilver.

This invention is way off into the future when everyone will wear fishnet unitards.
