The Daily Mirror

It may look as if someone nailed a roller skate to the the front of a bike for a laugh - but the StreetSurfer is tipped to be a huge UK hit.

The four small front wheels allow the rider to negotiate obstacles more easily and manoeuvre using body weight.

Australian creator Tony Varrone said: "It takes a few minutes to get used to the Street-Surfer because it feels completely different to a standard bike - more like surfing. But once you begin to trust yourself leaning instead of steering it's easy."

Tony said the five-wheeler, which should cost around £400 when it arrives in Britain, is safer to ride than the traditional bike.

He added: "The braking system is very effective and is similar to car anti-lock systems - so it slows down without skidding."

Stephen's Note: Nice one Mirror, shame your 4 months late with the News. It's here already :-)

Tasty LandSki As Seen On BBC2's TMi & Something For The Weekend

The Tasty Land Ski, FlowBoard sets out to create an experience that replicates snowboarding or surfing on the street. Years of experimentation have resulted in the 14 wheel Deep Carve System (DCS). Geometry that allows a device with no moving parts to recreate the flow of both snowboarding and surfing.

14 wheels on our skateboard and we're still rolling along. Tasty Adventures bring us the Land Ski for lost snowboarders

April beckons and soon the snow-clad Alps will be one giant Sound of Music goat pasture film set. But fear not our snowboarding friends, because Hampshire-based adrenalin junky, Tasty Adventures, is here to ease your snowmelt woes.

Dubbed the Land Ski (pictured), this, er, contraption, promises to replicate snowboarding or surfing on your nearest patch of asphalt. We're talking edge-to-edge carving and leans of more than 45-degrees. Whether asphalt is as forgiving as snow or surf we'll leave you to discover.

Those wanting to get more land-based kicks can also try the Tasty Street Surfer: an hour-glass, two-wheeled board with a flexible join in the middle. Given that it's propelled by the rider 'twisting the hips and moving in an s-shape motion', we think we'll stick with the Land Ski for now.
