Banzai Skateboards

If you were skateboarding in the 1970s, you probably dreamed of owning an aluminium deck by Banzai. Now 43 years later, Banzai have released a limited-edition collection of their 1976 iconic double-kicktail skateboard, complete with a collector´s box and signed art prints. The recognizable banana boards are back in modern form, still cut from anodized aluminum, and now beautifully hand-brushed for grip and style. Each board comes with urethane wheels, ceramic bearings, the O-G style x-caliber lightweight trucks, stainless mounting parts, and a custom-designed tool in a sleek leather case. Two board shapes are offered in a limited run of 50 per color and size.

PUSH SNOWBOARDING | BY NOKIA AND BURTON

Nokia, in partnership with Burton, developed a monitoring system for snowboarders. The idea is to connect a series of sensors (heart rate, pressure on the board and orientation) to a Arduino processor, which then sends via Bluetooth, the acquired data to a Nokia N8, which records the entire performance (including the phone´s GPS path).  All this through a free application that can be downloaded from the Push Snowboarding web page. The Push Kit should be av...
