Thundrblade Electric Inline Skates
Now I was never so good at Rollerblading even when my wheels weren't under the power of two 1000W motors, so I know what I think about Thundrblade electric inline skates: medical disaster.
But what about you? Do you play roller hockey or ride the rails and skate parks on 8 wheels instead of 4? Are you one of those dudes I still see rocking out and blading backwards on my neighborhood's Greenway Trail? Maybe you'd like to increase the output of your skates. Put the wheels to the pavement to the tune of 25MPH. Thundrblades aren't for me, but maybe they're for you.
In its basic form, Thundrblade is a frame system, with all of the electronics, batteries, and motors housed between its wheels. This enables you to use Thundrblades with your existing skate boots - they're compatible with UFS and SSM 165mm. Or you can purchase the full Thundrblade package, which includes carbon fiber skate boots Thundrblade collaborated with Common Fibers to produce, and wear the e-skates right out-of-the-box.
In addition to their battery-powered motors, Thundrblades also have regenerative brakes, which help steady your speed on long and steep downhills. The brakes do double duty recharging the skates' batteries during use. To further control them, you'll have a wireless remote stick for forward motion, acceleration, braking, and reverse.
Additional Thundrblade features include: LED wheels for better visibility and safety at night; a set of off-road tires; and the ability to skate normally if you don't always feel like turning your Rollerblades up to 11.
You can pledge for your Thundrblade frame only, or full e-skate set here on IndieGoGo.
Big-O Stunt Skates
Despite their being shaped like big Os, I'm not sure about Big-O as a name for these stunt skates. I'm pretty sure if I were to try them, the words "Big O" would not be at the forefront of my mind. I'd call mine Big I...

Moonwalkers - Walk at Running Speed
Moonwalkers? Hmmm. Well, these shoes that claim to make you walk at running speed definitely have the "moon" part right - they make your feet look like they're donning a big ol' pair of moon boots. The aesthetic doesn't...

Segway Roller Skates
I'll bet before you saw Segway's Drift W1 eRoller Skates you thought riding a Segway couldn't get any more fun. And that the likelihood of sustaining an injury while doing it any higher. That's what I thought too, but...

For hockey players and skaters, these skateable synthetic ice tiles are a step up from those back-and-forth slide boards you have to wear shoe booties to use, but still a step down from EZ Ice</
Carbon Fiber Daggers
The Escort series of carbon fiber daggers is not meant for cutting. It's meant for stabbing. That statement did not even stem from my powers of deduction, but directly from the manufacturer's literature. Aerospace grade...

Earth Traveler Ultralight Teardrop Trailers
I nominate bench pressing an Earth Traveler teardrop trailer for an event in the next CrossFit Games. Or maybe a World's Toughest Mudder obstacle of harnessing a 250-pound Earth T250LX to a runner's back and having him...

Hammock Bathtub
Usually when people describe themselves they inflate the truth or do that reverse psychology trick where they say a bunch of self-deprecating things in an effort to convey the opposite meaning. In both cases they would...

The Mosler RaptorGTR compares itself to the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport and Lamborghini Aventador. But only to point out that, in terms of power-to-weight ratio, it is better than both of them. (Though in terms of marketing...
