The Stowboard provides the the perfect answer to that pesky problem that no-one has ever had – what to do when your skateboard is too unwieldy to be carried around easily.

Apparently it’s aimed at trouser-suit-wearing business women who want to skate to the airport (a massive market that), surfers who want to be able to lock their board up securely, and kids who feel the need to fold their skateboard before they put it in their ample-sized school locker.

Judging by their website this company lasted about five years before going bust. We were surprised it was that long to be honest. Wonder how many boards they sold in that time?
