“One segment of American culture that has been increasing in popularity for years is the extreme sports area. Skateboards have not seen a lot of changes since the 1970’s…until now. A few new products have hit the market to challenge your notions of conventional skateboarding. If these products (Rolls Rolls Skateboards and Flowlabs Flowboard) are revolutionary or just cool remains to be see but do you think that they will catch on with the kids who they are intended for? Is this for the hardcore skater or the casual skater? Are there any advantages from having these products? Thoughts? Comments?” (You MUST write 5 sentences or you will get ZERO CREDIT)

I think that it will catch on because it looks cool and interresting to look at so they can buy it.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:26:21
i dont reallty think it will catch on. to me it seems like it would be really complicated to skate on that type of skateboard. It also looks like it would be really exspensive. I dont really understand how you would turn it , it looks really hard to turn. I dont think it will catch on.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:28:38
Really i dont think its a good idea. It looks dangerouse. But it does look cool, again though i dont think people will let there children have this, well they might. And the original skateborde is better i would think you ccould do more tricks on it. But hey thats just me..
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:31:31
i dont think it will catch on because it looks so hard to skate on and i would not use it at all. and it looks like it cot like a good 250 dollars. i dont know why people parents buy that stuff for them.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:33:00
That seems……SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not a really good sk8er but still,
I would love one of them.
I think once the kids see the commercial’s for these,(If they sell them or not…)
They’ll beg their parent’s for one! (I know i would…. lol)
I think that the new Flow boards are for more hardcore skater’s then casual sk8ters.
So what if they are more hardcore,
it’s just a better chance to master sk8ting and making it more possible to even go pro!
Plus!, if your really good at Snowboarding,
You’ll be great at this! The smooth turn’s Make it seem like your still snowboarding!

I think that kids are so interested in these items because theirs always room for improvement and they see new items coming out and they jump on it, rather if it works or not.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:35:46
i think they will not catch on because most skaters like origanal. They are a dumb invention to me because they are like kidish and some little kids will probley try them but wont stick with them. They might be cool and popular for a little bit but they are just like those 2 wheel ones i forgot what its called. It might make money for a month or 2 but not for long as said skaters mainly like origanal.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:36:16
i dontthink it wud catch on because it will be hard to ride and prolly exspensive like a mug.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:26:46
yeah you got a really good point i dnt think it will popular for long.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:36:36
Um. It’s possible It could be a good idea but too me It’s not because it’s just a skate board. But it does look pretty cool skate boards to skate on. People probably can have a good time on them. This skateboards are for the hard core skateboarders because they are more advanced skateboarders. And know what they doing. But It looks cool but dangerous. You could break your neck on those skateboards. Accidents do happen.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:37:05
i dont think it will catch on because it looks really hard to skate on and i wouldnt ride that. it looks like break your bones. the orginal skatebords are way batter than them skate things. plus it looks like cost alot of money like $300 or something.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:37:27
i don’t think it would catch on to the kids that are intended for and i think skateboarding is boring.i think it’s for the hardcore skateboarders.and i don’t think there are any advantages for having these products
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:38:44
I think this product will not catch on pretty fast because i think that some people don’t really know how to skate. So they would be like no they will not buy something they can’t do. Anyway it would be very hard to try to learn how to skate on a kind of board made that kind of way. Sometimes skating can be kind of hard. people don’t want to feel unsafe. especially if it is their first time trying to learn on one of those new boards. if people want to learn how to skate i prefer them to get someone proffesional to teach them how to skate.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:49:56
i think this product would catch on fast because there r so many skaters out there know. i think its for hard core skaters because its a new style and they will learn how to do it quickly. there are andvantages because they will sale quickly. people will get a lot of exersize. If they dident sale how much money will we loose. they are cool.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 08:59:40
I like the one with all the wheels because it looks like it would really feel like a snowboard. I would really like to have it i am probably going to order it. I mean it looks like it would be the funnest thing ever. I mean seriously want to ride this thing. I want to meate the creater.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 09:02:02
I do think they will catch on. People always want new things. I think the advantage is it flows. I think its suspossed to make it easier. That’s all i got to say about that.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:04:57
Yes I do think it will catch on.
I think it can be for the hardcore skater or the casual skater.
I think so because you won’t fall off so easily.
And they look way cooler.
I would want one.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:07:15
yes i think it is a hardcore skatbord becaues its not like a reglry. i think they are proble will sell alot. i think that it is going to be in all stores. it mite make millons for selling them . i thing it will be a great thing to make new
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:07:40
i think that they will catch on. people think that new things are the coolest everybody cant live without the next new thing. it might help the skateboarders because of its shape. i think that all skateboarders will thank whoever made these. they look like there ready to go and are going to work.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:09:35
no i don’t think it’s a good idea.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:10:35
no, because if they did not like them before they probability still will not like them.i guess its for both because the new skaters and old they will like it both. they will not be popular for long it will maybe get boring or something.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:10:57
yea because the people that like to skateboard will go on hardcore an stop riding the bus an stop riding in car an get on the skateboard an go where they have to go.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:11:10
I think there for pros because they know how to use it. Amateurs don’t. they can get hurt. they are complex. that is what i think.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:11:49
i think the skate boards will catch on because the 2010 is all about
taking thinks to the extreme and all the skate boarders i know will
want one
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:13:30
Ithink this skate boards are for the hard core skaters this is a more harder skate board to use. An advantage is that people could get hurt and fall and los their balance. Maybe some people wont seem so safe because it looks kinda hard to skate on. And a little more difficult.Another advantig is the cost beacause it looks a little expensive.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:14:49
hey what are you doing Mr. Steed can that ear can heel up faster or something. but what was you doing over your house Mr. Steed. So well then I hope you feel better Mr. Steed okay then. This his from Dustin Hunt and a good afternoon everybody.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:16:40
yes i do think it is hardcore because now in our days it is very popular now a day. my brothers roger and Mikey skate board and so dose my little cousin Aaron. it is very common in my family. my brother love to skateboard and so dose aaron. skateboarding is going to stay the new thing.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:17:52
i think it a good idea because theres been skateboards and rip sticks and stuff like that for along time and they can get boaring. thats why its a good idea to have something new. it also dont cost that much.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:19:28
ZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMM IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZ MMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN TTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:20:31
i think they will catch on quick because now a days kids are all about the cool new hot stuff like kids that are willing to anything.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:21:41
i do think it will catch on.
i think it will because it looks so cool.
i think it will catch on because it looks weird and i like weird thinks and so dose some people like weird things and some people like to ride sk8 borads
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:25:24
i think it will catch on with the advanced skateboarders that has more skills because it looks hard to do if you are a newbie at skateboarding but that’s from me because i am not into skateboarding and i will never will be. also that looks like some weird board wheels and boards to ride and looks like the pros will have to practice a lot to master that board. that’s what i have to say about the boards
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:29:45
i think they prombly will because there is so many skateboarders out there hardcore skateboarders yes i think they have any advantages for there product.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:33:05
hey i think it is cool. and weird at the same time. because i like bikes better and it would be more dangerous. and because its safe. i guess it can be different.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:35:38
i think its a pretty good idea for the skateboarders. If they like rip sticks then they will like these ones. I think after everybody hears about these and they will get one. they would probably stop riding cars, and buses and would ride that thing every where. i probably wouldn’t ride one daily but it’d be cool to have one.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:36:01
It is really cool. It is revolutionary to the skateboard world. It is insane, I like it. It is something I have to try because I skateboard and it looks cool. It is beast mode.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:36:20
I don’t think it will catch on because it looks stupid. What is wrong with the regular old skateboards? But i do think its for the hardcore skaters. I think its a step down from the regular skateboards. But the new skateboards do look kinda cool, it might sale, no one really knows.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:37:05

Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:37:13
These should catch on because of it’s catchy design. It is better for hardcore skaters because it has a more hard design. Kids will think the same because of it’s soon popularity. So, these skateboards bought from the past will be popular for everything. It may even just be these designs. The old ones like ours will be gone for good.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:43:11
If you care about my opinion skate boarding is the most stupid least fun to watch and least developed sport in the world.people like tony hawk could do that stunt on an original skate board it does not make one lick of since it doesnt matter.they just make those fancy desighns to draw hungry for stunt teens that will pay big mony for a rolling peice of drift wood.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 11:43:47
I think it will catch on because there are tons of skaters. They’re for hardcore skaters. you have more friends. you will win over more friends. You win over more guys as friends.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:19:40
I dont think it will catch on. be cause it seems like it would be more difficult that a regular one.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:21:16
I think they will catch on because it looks cool. I think that even if its for skaters That other people will still buy it. So Yeah i think that it will catch on with skaters and stuff. And Also i think it might not considering people may fall and get hurt.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:21:38
i dont think it will catch on. it looks hard to skate. it looks cool but it would probaly be really expensive. it would be hard to do tricks and stuff on that kind of board.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:24:27
I think that it can be for any one that chooses to have that type of skate-bored if they like it because no one can tell another person what he or she likes or what they can have so to me it really doesnt have to be for a certain type of person or which kind of skate-boreder you are it can be anyones choice. But many skaters maybe would buy this skatebored b/c maybe they thinks its the latest style or is better than anyone elses And no i dont think that it will catch on to the kids i suppose that it depends on what there into now days .
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:24:27

Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:25:29
yes it think it will catch on to the kids that it is intended to because they will want to try something fun and cool. another reason i think it will catch on is because it is new and all the kids will want to buy it. i think it is probably intended for the hardcore skate because it wont be hard for them and they will know how to skateboard with it so it will be fun for them.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:25:44
i dnt think that skate boarding is a very entertaining sport but that my opinion. also i dnt really think that it will catch on to the whole deal of new cause it will eventually will get old and never touched. but then new things come a head and it will go on and on. so if you like it thats you not me.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:25:58
IT LOOKS COOL BUT I GARENTEA YOU WILL FALL OFF OF IT.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:26:10
I think the extreme skater won’t use these. The are used to the regular board. Someone who is new to skating would learn this easier. It’s new and that makes it harder to use. Like the Ripstick.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:27:06
I don’t skate at all. not on boards or on anything. it is lame an boring. so somebody that likes to skate mite like it. but i don’t
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:27:22
i thinkk people who are just now starting to skateboard can use them as well as people who have been skate boarding for a long time . the things they do to the skate board dont make it ride diffrent or make them harder or easier to ride . it just makes the skatteboard look better so i think alot of people will buy these .
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:28:23
I don’t think it really would change any thing. It can be used by anyone but some people are just better skaters than others. It could be used as a prize at a skate competition. It is a new invention created ny a creative person. That is my op ion.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:29:20
I think that this will catch on. I myself skateboard, and i might look in to one of these, just to see what they can do. I know many people that like to board. I also may not buy one, but if i had a friend that i had one, i would try it out before i would go to the store, and buy one for myself.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:29:34
IT LOOKS COOL BUT I GARENTEA YOU WILL FALL OFF OF IT.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:29:52
It looks cool. but i think it will be easyer to fall off of the skate board
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:34:47
lee ur so weirdd
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:31:01
i dont think it will catch on but u know im wrong at times rofl. but i still think its retarded but seems cool. But everyone has a diff point of veiw on this so i dont rlly mind it. Thats all for now so tell next time 😉 laterz
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:31:54
i dont think it willl catch on. it looks to hard. ibet nobody will be buying it. i wouldnt buy it at all.its not a smart invention. the old skateboards are better i bet this one will not be bought it looks to difficult.they make things like this thinking everyone is going to buy it. but no one is going to buy it.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:32:17

Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:34:01
i wouldnt know i will fall off a skateboards period. but people ride skateboards might like the new ones, i guess.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:34:08
i honestly dont think these skateboards will catch on. the original skateboard is the best to alot of people. there more for harcore skaters. these skateboards are for….well really it can be for either hardcore or casual it doesnt matter. but i dont think these new weird looking things you call a skateboard are going to catch on
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:45:01
I think it will catch on.But to me the skate boards and things they made back then where better then the ones they make today.I think that if they where made in a different way that they would have sold more back then and right now.But their is one good thing about people coming out with new ways to make them and how they look is.That we have some new things to try and ant just sticking to the old ways we are moving up in a good way.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:46:03
it will catch up with the ones that are good and can skateboard really good…it would be cool but its not really needed to do something like that
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:46:24
in my opinion it is for a casual skater. no there is not any advantages. i think that all skateboards are the same. i personally don’t skateboard. i think it might be tireing.
Sep 03, 2010 @ 13:56:42
i think it will catch on because it is the new thing.it will be on the streets in no time.i think will eventually go back to the normal skatebording. but this will stay for a while
Sep 06, 2010 @ 10:58:11
i think is not a big difference. is the same thing they do the same thing. its kinda cool but it wont make me go after it or something because its the same as the old model. but it looks cool. but i wont buy it.
Sep 07, 2010 @ 08:28:26
i think it is cool and a advantage it has it gets skate borders,surf borders,and snow borders so i think it will catch on
Sep 09, 2010 @ 08:33:02
I think its a cool idea i guess. It seems fun to ride on a skateboard like that. But it also looks difficult. I think the skateboards that people ride now are probably much easier and better then those. I honestly don’t think its that great of an idea. It looks like it would be too difficult to do tricks on.
