Decender Tank-Treaded Skateboard (Only Goes Downhill)

This is the Rockboard Decender, a $120 skateboard deck with tank treads instead of wheels that can only be ridden down hills (unlike THIS badass mother). Don't have any hills around your house?

Also, expect to win (I'm only good at shrieking and pulling hair).

Hit the jump for a video of the board in action. Me? I like to ride down hills the old-fashioned way: inside an old tractor trailer.

  • I'm pretty sure I did this when I was a kid with a regular skateboard... meh.

  •  GW... I think by Midwest you're referring solely to Illinois.

    There are quite a few respectably-sized hills here in Wisconsin... especially if you go North and/or West, young man.

  • I think they're gonna need a bigger hill(read:boat)

  • where do you find pants that tight? forever 21?

  • Forever 21 *does* sell men's clothing... I use the term "men's" lightly, though.

  • Shaun9lives

    Those ARE NOT men's jeans.

  • A thing you can only use down hill and then have to pick it up and carry it to the top again. Very like a sledge then.
