Nah. But maybe he’d say, Coulda been the forerunner of the wheel bike. (FYI, he was riding the wheel bike while being chased by Obi-wan Kenobi in Episode 3.)


As for our new fad, Orbit Wheel skates ($145 at newdavincis.com), I saw it on Youtube. You have this pair of large wheels literally orbiting around your feet as you skate around sideways. It’s cool for the novelty.

Verdict: screams fad. Then again, didn’t the rollerblades, surfboard, skateboard, and snowboard go through their respective fad phases?
