Los Angeles inventor, David Patrick, has re-invented the wheel. His bizarre and radically innovative design looks like a cube! The wheels, called Shark Wheels, are targeting the vibrant global skateboard market. The wheels look wildly different and exhibit superior performance over the normal cylindrical wheel. And in a rebuke to any naysayers, the company’s Kickstarter campaign has gone viral, exceeding its original goal of $10,000 by six times in just two weeks.

Media attention includes: Huffington Post, Discovery Channel, Popular Science, The Atlantic, MSN, Yahoo, International Business Times, The Daily Mail, Gizmag, and many tech blogs. A Click on the Kickstarter link (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1537100752/shark-wheel-the-square-skateboarding-wheel-that-sh) will take you directly to the campaign where you can get a first hand look at the wheels, how they perform, how people react to them, and what other journalists are writing. Navigate through the various “Updates” on Kickstarter and you’ll see why the wheels are creating such a buzz.

A story like this happens only once every epoch!
Only 4 days remain on the Kickstarter campaign to get the wheels or complete skateboard under retail price, so hurry and check out the cube-like, snake-like wheel!
