From Wikipedia:
The
BMW Street Carver
(styled StreetCarver) was a
skateboard
created by
BMW
.
[1]
It had an extremely stiff wood and fiberglass deck and a unique suspension system derived from parts from a
BMW 5 Series
car and was designed by
DesignworksUSA
.
[2]
The Street Carver was produced from mid-2001 to 2004. Its original retail price was 5.

The Street Carver was notable for the striking appearance and its steering mechanism that gave it the ability to carve like a snowboard or surfboard. The Street Carver employed large, 110mm curved wheels, which were required because the axles
roll
in relation to the ground (i.e. change camber) as the board is turned (as opposed to traditional skateboarding axles, which remain parallel to the ground as the board is turned).
The Street Carver is a very smooth carving board at both low and high speeds. Due to its unique steering mechanism, the turning characteristics of the board are determined by the geometry of the swing lever arms, and cannot be modified (in contrast to the ability to adjust the bushings or kingpin on standard skateboard trucks).
Board dimensions: L 33.5" x W 11" x H 6.3" (L 85.09cm x W 27.94cm x H 16cm)
