A Wheel-less Society

A Wheel-less Society

For a lot of people, the future is getting brighter as newer and bigger innovations have been churning out on a daily basis. This also includes skateboarding, as people would one day look back, reminded of the days when grandpa used to ride those, and yet it has plastic wheels.

In a way, having a hoverboard in the future may not be so far off after all. Considering the advancements that are made due to maglev, or magnetic levitation, common for bullet trains. Advancements in terms of metals have also taken a keen interest with many companies who want to create stronger and lighter skateboards. Technological devices are getting smaller and more sophisticated that it wouldn't be long where everything that would power up a small home can be found in a hoverboard.

Skateboarders today even enjoy some of the joy-enhancing things like portable mp3 players and even portable media. They can still just do their stuff without worrying about getting left behind in the drink. The internet provides a great place to know and exchange information when it comes to tricks, styles and even a place to buy that next deck after breaking their old ones.

It may not be the same as a flying skateboard, but the technology in building one consists of the things available today. There is so much promise to be had when a kid like 50 years from now can go to school using a hoverboard and would never be late for class ever again.

It may be just fantasizing, but there is something real to be had in the years to come, especially for skateboarders.

Have fun,
Jake
