We Can't Railslide, And That's OK

Thanks to the power of Industrial Design!  Designer PoChih Lai developed a wheel and truck system that allows the longboarder to successfully negotiate stairs.  

This board has all the free-flowing fun of a standard longboard, plus now you don't have to bail at the top of the stairs.  I imagine it's a little nervy headed towards that first flight, but the action looks smooth once you get it down.  Head to PoChih's website for more photos, including the raft of prototypes he worked through.  Watch the video at the bottom of his page to see the trucks in action!
