Where I live, there are many urban areas but also many hills / roads with long inclines. Longboarding isn't that popular here because:
1) You can't longboard up a hill, or even much of an incline.
2) More importantly, when you go _down_ a hill, it's pretty difficult to stop quickly (this is why I personally stopped longboarding)
This device would help with both problems!

- muraiki 14y agoGood point! The stop will never be instant... and you'd better have good grip on your shoes, too. While I think this product will be pretty neat, I can't see it revolutionizing transportation simply because longboarding requires a good amount of mental energy in comparison to a scooter or bike. But I have to admit, it is seriously fun, and the sensation of gliding is awesome.
