Castorboarding

[ydoaPs]

Have any of you done any Castorboarding?

 

Castorboards are like skateboards, but completely different. They are really two boards connected by a spring-loaded torsion bar. Instead of having four wheels on trucks, it has one castor(makes you wonder where the name came from, eh?) on each board. So, it looks like a two wheeled skateboard with shopping cart wheels. I thought it would be really hard to use and would seriously injure me, but it was pretty easy. Once I got on(that's really the hardest part), it was pretty easy. I've never snowboarded or skateboarded, but I hear that it is more similar to snowboarding than skateboarding. I have a Ripstik. The only other brand I know of is the Wave.

It's kinda obvious where it comes from, isn't it? Casters are indicated in the diagram.

 

Sounds like fun.

I didn't pick out the picture until after I wrote the text

It is. Too bad I live in New York and it will start snowing soon.

I've waveboarded before, it's a lot of fun. Instead of pushing your feet against the ground like you do on a skateboard you propel yourself by moving your feet back and forward. You kind of stay on it instead of setting yourself up so you can ride around indoors.
