9. ROLLING ROCK Sure, Samsonite's Graviton Upright Spinner's polycarbonate is virtually indestructible, but this baby is all about the ride. The German-designed 360-degree wheel system allows you to whip it in a circle and roll any way you want to. Good luck keeping up. $550; samsonite.com

10. UNFOLD AND GO It won't be available until next summer, but we're already lusting after Cannondale's ON bike. Not only is it elegantly designed (the gears, chain, and cables are all internal); it also folds up in gloriously simple fashion: Just press a button and it flips closed for easy transport. Price TBD; cannondale.com

11. COLD CLAW This newest iteration of Black Diamond's Cobra ice ax, while just as wicked, is more intelligent than previous models. The lightweight carbon-fiber shaft sucks up vibration, while its slightly more exaggerated curve provides even better clearance for nailing gnarly overhangs. $300; bdel.com

12. TIME MACHINE Casio told its digicam engineers to have a field day. They came back with a consumer camera that can stop time. The EX-F1 shoots at a jaw-dropping 60 frames per second—that's not a typo. (By comparison, most point-and-shoots grab around two.) The money shot? You caught it. $1,000; exilim.casio.com
