Pumpboard the pump up skateboard : Brilliantly designed

Posted By Mr.Gadget  Published in Funny Gadgets, Life

The Pumpboard skateboard has to be one of the most innovative things I’ve seen this year! If I didn’t see all the photos on Yanko Design I wouldn’t have guessed how compact it the Pumpboard could be. In its folded-up state, you could fit this in a kids backpack no problems.

With the aid of compressed air, it goes from this:

pumpboard1

To this:

pumpboard2Then finally to its full form:

pumpboard3

The curved body looks like it’ll make balancing even more challenging however the wider wheelbase and thicker wheels looks like it will compensate.

I know if I wanted to be the center of attention at school, I’d be asking my parents for a raise in pocket money to nab me one of these quick smart!

In the meantime, with the help of Photoshop, I can dream…

The person who designed this skateboard has clearly never actually examined anything inflatable or actually used a skateboard. However they are clearly quite excited about their new 3d program.

LOL! There’s only one way to test this: we need a review unit!

This s awsome, at last a mix of technology and good old fun that appears to work. I think my son will want one of these.
