Skateboards without boards

Minimalism has also arrived into the world of skateboarding. In fact, Hammacher Schlemmer has launched an interesting product on the market, a sliding board.
As with all products nowadays, postmodern skateboarders are trying to conquer new areas and break down traditional skateboard concepts.
Post Modern Skateboards work by themselves in this way: the feet are placed on some rubber wheels and you need to move on with the snake movement, as you would with a longboard.
As with the Longboard, however, there are only two wheels offline.
Basically, with your feet locked on the wheels, it can be thought that falling is not so much fun. But the circular sliders come with a wire extension to attach the wheels for the benefit of beginners.
 
Company
The company has noticed that since the wheels are not connected, riders can easily make a 720 ° turn, enough to get a stop to put their toes on the ground. On the other hand, as the wheels are 10 inches in diameter, grass and dirt can go above the surface. The Post Modern Skateboard is priced at $ 100.
 
History of skateboarding
Skateboarding (or skateboarding, in short) is a kiroil. In it, above the ground or on surfaces specifically designed for this exercise, such as slopes or bars, it moves from place to place on a board.
Different tricks can be performed during the move. These tricks include lifting the board from the ground and taking pictures, locations or turntables in the air.
The first skaters were born in California in the late 1940s, realizing that some surfers had no waves when they couldn't afford their favorite sport. No one knows who was the creator of the first board, since many surfers had the same idea at the same time. The first skateboards were made by a Los Angeles-based California store and resembled a surfboard with some skate wheels.
The idea was to keep surfers at leisure during times of need. For this reason, skateboarding was initially known as street surfing, with the first skaters having a surfer technique than today.
In the 1960s, Southern California surfboard manufacturers began building skateboards in a more professional manner. Teams began to support the sport and also a North American television show called "Surf's Up" promoted skateboarding as something new, fresh and fun.
 
70s: Development
During the 1970s, some innovations began to be made in the construction of skateboards, starting with some polyurethane wheels, which were much lighter, since then used to be more metallic. This change was crucial to the skate's popularity, as these new wheels significantly improved traction and maturity. In this way, the movements made on the board were lighter and more dynamic. From then on he developed the technique of skateboarding, moving away from surfing, creating a new style.
Skateparks did not exist at that time. So, skaters came together in urban areas, such as reservoirs, pools, stadiums, staircases and railings. For this reason, skateboarding is considered an urban sport, while alternative sports have a specific area for practicing other sports, which can be practiced in any city, provided the conditions for skating on the table are provided.
Over the years, as more and more people applied for it, on August 3, 2016, the COI (International Olympic Committee) introduced skateboarding as an Olympic sport. As a result, Tokyo 2020 will see one of the best sports tournaments in this area.
