If you like the neat color optical illusion posted by Neatoramanaut Minnesotastan from the Upcoming Queue, check this one out by Rob Jenkins of the University of Glasgow and Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire:
The picture below shows two monkeys. Set your computer monitor to maximum brightness and then stare at the centre of the picture for about 30 seconds without moving your eyes. Next, look to a white wall and blink a few times. The monkeys should suddenly transform into a perfect picture of Darwin!

Not to mention the 7 ball bearings, crown, and inner and outer races in each bearing, of which each wheel has 2.
so all in all this thing has ~294 moving parts.
I was going to mention that, but I had no idea how many bearings there were. Thusly, I left it at that.
It carves well but other than that it isnt really great for anything. It seemed like it was going for riders that like to longboard but would also like to do a trick every once in a while. As a result it isnt great for either. It can be ollied so you can do some things with it but it's awkward and takes some adjusting to.
It is truly heavier than a normal board because of the added weight of the trucks and extra wheels. I only attempted to ride it once before almost breaking my ankle.
I still have it with the extra wheels if any one wants to grab it??
