# Futuristic Film Skateboards Alon Karpman's Tron Freerider Skatecycle is Super Sci-Fi Cool By Meghan Young | Published 2010-12-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tron-freerider-skatecycle References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/featured_items/alon_karpmans_tron_inspired_skatecycle_18110.asp) & [brooklynworkshop](http://www.brooklynworkshop.com/) It seems as though no one can resist jumping on the TRON: Legacy bandwagon including [Alon Karpman](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freerider-skatecycle), by the looks of his Tron Freerider Skatecycle. Even though I feel it's overkill, you can't deny that it looks mighty cool. With this in mind, I completely understand why artists and designers can't stop themselves. I do, however, find comfort in the fact that the Tron Freerider Skatecycle is one-of-a-kind model. It is a true tribute to the highly anticipated film. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Skateboarding:** Explore opportunities for incorporating futuristic design and technology into skateboards and other sports equipment to attract tech-savvy consumers. - **Tron-inspired Design:** Consider implementing TRON-inspired aesthetics in various products, such as skateboards, to tap into the popularity of the franchise and attract fans. - **Artistic Tribute Products:** Create unique and limited-edition products that pay tribute to popular films or cultural phenomena, appealing to collectors and fans alike. ### Who This Affects Most - **Action Sports:** Introduce innovative technologies and materials in the skateboard industry to enhance performance and create a compelling selling point. - **Film Merchandise:** Collaborate with film studios to develop exclusive merchandise, like themed skateboards, that capitalizes on the excitement surrounding movie releases. - **Art and Design:** Merge art and functional products to create visually striking items, like the Tron Freerider Skatecycle, that resonate with consumers looking for unique and stylish pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Concept Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-motorcycle1.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akiraducati-superbike.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Cybertruck-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-machine-p11.md) - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Futuristic Single-Seater Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-mobility-concept.md)
