Well, I'd reather be at the toy show because of handmade German fuzzy animals, but it'd be OK to see the skateybikey stuff too. Here's something, with a bit of viddy. What do you think? More like skateboarding than skating methinks. I think the unBoard(TM) would be a better name, especially with the unBored(TM) double meaning. HA!

Looks interesting. I wonder if it could be set up so the direction of rotation weren't perpendicular to forward travel. Also reminds me of those twisty skateboard stick thingys that I kinda wanna try as well.

Landrollers

Landrollers are vaguely like that I guess? Not really but yes in that they're big wheels. I've seen some big wheel roller skates (quads) too, but I think only scooter size 100mm wheels.
