Very OT and possibly more suited to Middle Aged Shred but I know there are a few skaters and boarders on here.

Anyone given these a go? Any ideas if they'd work on a longboard, and if so any UK stockists. They look a proper giggle. :D:

I remember the very early Burton ones, they look stacks of fun...

I'd love to give these a punt!!! any UK stockists?? *shuffles off to google*

Edit: The 4x4 kit that you have listed is just a wheel conversion so would just bolt on to an old setup looks well worth it.

Can't seem to find a UK stockist though. 50 dollar US retail price looks reasonable. Shall I see if they do a volume discount on shipping to the uk :-)?

For those interested have been in touch with Fuse and they are $44.70 shipping to the UK. No UK stockists apparently.

I suppose the ghetto option would be just to sand and wax the bottom of an old deck? Any idea if that would work?

it works... but not very well, works a little better if you have some old grab rails on the bottom. they don't turn really though.

seen these?

I had one many moons ago but haven't the foggiest where it is now. that didn't turn either as such you could shuffle it in sort of the direction you wanted to go but was ace fun! such a laugh at the tamworth snowdome too, had kickflips out of the grand prix kicker, frontside/backside ollies on the quarter pipe, a few block tricks too.
