The Aussies love their extreme sports, especially the ones involving cool hardware, so it's no surprise that it was an Australian company that crossed a skateboard with a BMX. The Street Surfer, which dates back to 1998 prototype with actual skateboard wheels, is a trick bike and cruiser which is steered by leaning rather than by turning handlebars, so you can carve the streets up, surf-style

The company claims that the extra wheels give better traction and stability (and probably get stuck in potholes a lot easier, too). The custom suspension is self adjusting, and soaks up impact as well as "hugging the road". Best of all, there's an option to swap out the front assembly for "Dirt Jump Forks" which are, you guessed it, regular bike forks.

The bike's Australian creator Tony Varrone, who is based in Perth, said his Street Surfer was safer to ride than a traditional bike.

"It takes a few minutes to get used to the Street Surfer because it feels completely different to a standard bike - more like surfing,'' he told the Daily Mirror newspaper.

"But once you begin to trust yourself leaning instead of steering it's easy.

"The braking system is very efficient and is similar to car anti-lock systems, so it slows down without skidding."
