A post-modern skateboard without a board

We're well into the 21st century, so perhaps it's not surprising that somebody finally decided to render the triedand-true skateboard a major update. Enter the post-modern skateboard at least, that's how it's being marketed. Thing is, this contraption has no board to speak of.

The post-modern skateboard — basically, a $100 (Rs 6,229) pair of 10-inch, round wheels with foot platforms — seems to be more spiritually akin to a caster board, a twowheeled, skateboard cousin consisting of two decks joined by a metal beam. But seeing the skater's two feet moving independently might remind many a lot more of roller blading or figure skating than anything else.

The board, however, does come with an extendable rod that can be used to connect the two skates.
