Coasting Laurels

Have you ever been walking to some place and encounter a gradual downhill slope? You just regret that you don't have some way of using your potential energy to your advantage; you wish you had wheels to glide to the bottom effortlessly, but without having to tote a bicycle or skateboard uphill.

Now there's an easy way to avoid this problem; they're called Coasting Laurels. They look exactly like that crown of laurels awarded to Olympians from a distance, but all you have to do it push back four unnotticeable clumps of laurel leaves to reveal four scooter-sized wheels. The frame of the crown, despite its fragile appearance is actually a cylindrical steel loop, with catamaram-style netting between it. The wearer/rider sits or stands on the upper surface of the laurel headpeice, and will coast on his/her laurels all the way to the bottom of the hill, where they can be worn again immedeately.

Also comes in waxed fibreglass for snowboard-like coasting.
