Skateboarding a Pallet Down Tram Tracks

In Back to the Future, Marty McFly showed ingenuity when he cracked apart a kid's 1955 wooden push-scooter to "invent" the skateboard. Now, Czech artist Tomáš Moravec is keeping McFly's low-tech, high-fun tradition rolling with his Pallet Skate. Moravec cut down the dimensions of a standard, European wood pallet, or “Eur Pallet,” and fastened what appear to be small cart wheels to the bottom, creating a giant—and specialized—skateboard. The Pallet Skate fits snugly into the tram tracks running through Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, and with a few pushes, Moravec glides smoothly around the city.
