Skateboarding has typically been called “sidewalk surfing” but over the last couple of years we’ve seen more and more attempts to take skateboarding off road. The latest attempt is from Rockboard, which showed off its Descender board earlier this year at Toy Fair in New York. Video after the jump

Toy Fair Preview: Digital Skateboard
We don’t normally think of the American International Toy Fair, which is held every February in New York City, as being a destination for fitness products; the truth is that many toys at least get kids up and going. And one new board that might get the gadget loving kids of today off the couch is the Radiate Skateboard from Rockboard, which features 48 LED lights on the underside of the deck. The lights are fully rechargeable and the board comes with power adapters.
In addition to perking interest these lights could provide a little safety too so riders can be seen even as the street lights come on, helping kits get home safely. The Rockboard Radiate Skateboard will be at this month’s Toy Fair, and will reportedly be available this spring for around $100. Rock on!
