Street-Carving Skateboards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Aris Sport Bladerunner Can Behave Like a Snowboard

— January 12, 2012 — Lifestyle
If you're a skateboarder, you know that it's impossible to "carve" the streets the way a snowboarder carves snow and a surfer carves water. Giving skateboarders the ability to do so is the Aris Sport Bladerunner, a new skateboard design that features special wheels to allow skateboarders to turn in ways that they could not before.

To allow for this, the Aris Sport Bladerunner is designed with conical wheels. While other skateboard designers may have already tried to make skateboards that can do things snowboards can, according to TechNewsDaily, the design of the Bladerunner is actually simpler then these previous attempts.

The Aris Sport Bladerunner is not yet available, but the company plans for the board to be retail at less than $200 USD.
Trend Themes
1. Street-carving Skateboards - The Aris Sport Bladerunner introduces a new trend in skateboarding by allowing skateboarders to carve the streets like snowboarders carve snow.
2. Conical Wheel Design - The conical wheel design of the Aris Sport Bladerunner opens up new possibilities for skateboarders to turn in ways they could not before.
3. Simpler Design Approach - The Aris Sport Bladerunner offers a simpler design compared to previous attempts at creating skateboards that behave like snowboards.
Industry Implications
1. Skateboarding Equipment - The skateboarding equipment industry can explore the development of innovative boards that enhance the carving experience for skateboarders.
2. Outdoor Sports Retail - Outdoor sports retail stores have the opportunity to tap into the market for street-carving skateboards like the Aris Sport Bladerunner.
3. Extreme Sports Technology - The field of extreme sports technology can innovate and create more skateboarding equipment that simulates the experience of other sports like snowboarding and surfing.
