Apparently no one has gotten it quite right (or there's a good deal of money to be made), because it pops up again and again, going back so far as the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140914215240/http://www.gizmag.com/go/1191/" target="_blank">StreetCarver</a> from none other than BMW, right through recent designs like <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140914215240/http://www.gizmag.com/swing-blade-skateboard-carves-and-climbs/33166/" target="_blank">Swing Blade</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140914215240/http://www.gizmag.com/lean-skateboard-multi-link-wheels/31791/" target="_blank">Lean Board</a>. Another major skateboard trend during that time has been the electrified skateboard, exemplified by products like the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140914215240/http://www.gizmag.com/marbel-worlds-lightest-electric-vehicle/32202/" target="_blank">Marbel Board</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140914215240/http://www.gizmag.com/yuneec-electric-longboard/30653/" target="_blank">Yuneec E-Go</a>.
