Diving for a ball could be deadly at the world's highest tennis court atop the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. The hotel's helipad, 650 feet in the air, was converted to a special court for Andre Agassi and Roger Federer to play a match on in 2005. It's terrifying. The Burj Al Arab is the fourth-tallest hotel in the world (the three that rank above it are also in Dubai).

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??
