I present the 360 for the first time in the 2006 in Italy. And I swear it: I never see the wheelman before!!!In the February of the 2007 I won the Volvo Sportsdesign in Munich, and just in this occasion somebody tell to me that it was on the market the same concept whit a motor inside! So, people and designers…I’m real sorry. I do that in a good fade…believe me: I never see it before! My job is to crate something new…and not to copy ideas from other people! We are 6.000.000.000 of people and more than 750.000 people are designer… sometimes could happen to have similar ideas. http://www.zerofra.com Hi everybody…I’m the designer of this object!!!

Yes it is old news, yes it looks a bit rickety, yes it WILL definitely do a number on your ankles. However.... how on earth can you 'kick' or self propel the device??? tell me.... Is it just a downhill device? A skateboard can be used on downhills or flats. If this is true, this is a redundant product- a very cool one, but redundant. Good school project. Dude,…..

But I imagine some kind of slope and handrail is necessary for the both. It would be cool to see a strett version of this going in some skateboard park or maybe this offroad version going down the Wengen Downhill run at summertime :) Looks really fun, but I can´t help myself wondering how you get started and how you get off it.

I really love the idea, but it just hasn't caught on. I have to wonder about braking too, but I'm terrified of not being able to stop if I skateboarded or roller bladed, so I don't.
