We’ve been following the action tracking space for a while, and it seems that very few of the products ever make it past the Kickstarter phase. The makers of Alpine Replay (a ski and snowboarding action tracker) are launching a new tracker called Trace that (like competitor Lit) will get all your skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding down for the world to see. All they need is $150,000 Kickstart and they’ll get cracking. You ready to put a dongle on your deck?

Lost your nerves on anything over a three set? Got no pop? Tired of picking up your skateboard to walk down the stairs? The Stair-Rover is here to help.
The unique eight-wheeled mechanism makes the board equally at home cruising smooth pavements or gliding down steps. From the curb outside your house to a double flight of stairs, the Stair-Rover scuttles over obstacles with ease. . . On flat ground, Stair-Rover is the equal of any traditional longboard. But when the surface gets rough – cobblestones or uneven paving, for example – the chassis goes to work. It reduces impact and keeps you moving.
If you’re inspired, you can even help the developers fund their project on Kickstarter.

Tony Hawk has a new ride and it’s electric. According to his Twitter feed it’s a brand new Tesla S (four door for the family). “New toy, oh ee oh. Nothing too demanding…,” Tony says quoting Lene Lovich. Can’t say we blame him. Amazing car.
