What's Cool in...OZ - Edition 2

Hi! In this week's article I'm, yet again, awarding the number 1 cool spot to micro scooters! This is the third article in a row where they have taken the top spot. More and more people are starting to buy them. In a recent review, on these really cool scooters, it was found that more people over the age of 20 are buying them than people under 20! Apparently, in Melbourne, a lot of business men and women use the scooters to get round the streets quicker so that they can make the most of their lunch hour and get to places a lot faster!

I have also heard that later this year, a new product will come out in stores. The new product will be called 'street flyers'. They're shoes with retractable wheels and will give the scooter riders a run for their money!

There are many different bands and singers that are really popular at the moment but it really depends on what style of music you like. Personally, I prefer rock and alternative style. Some popular bands at the moment are- Blink 182, Grinspoon, Frenzal Rhomb, Limp Bizkit and Jebediah. That's just from my point of view and if you don't like rock music you probably wouldn't enjoy them.

Another new item on the What's Hot list are Snake Boards. Snake Boards have been round for about a year in Australia but are only now coming really popular. Snake Boards are a bit like sk8boards but are different in many ways. They have two platform type things, where you put your feet, at the each end of the board. They can both swivel to the sides. You turn the front platform to steer and the back one to start moving. They can take quite a while to learn how to ride them, but once you get the nack of it, you'll have the time of your life!

That's all from over here in Oz.
