World-First 1080 Vert
It finally happened. 20 years after Tony Hawk made history by landing the first 900 at the 1999 X-Games, 11-year-old Brazilian Gui Khury landed a 1080 on a normal vert — no mega ramp, no lead-in. The torch has been passed.

Roborock S7 Vacuum
With the world's first sonic mopping system, Roborock's S7 vacuum elevates automated cleaning. It delivers a high-intensity scrub setting that works up to 3,000 times a minute thanks to one of the fastest sonic mops, breaking up surface dirt and dried-on messes to deliver the cleanest floors possible. Integrated VibraRise technology automatically lifts the mop when the ultrasonic carpet recognition system detects the carpet for seamless transitions between different floor surfaces, allowing its 2,500Pa of suction to remove dust and debris from deep inside carpet fibers. Equipped with LiDAR navigation and adaptive route algorithms, the vacuum navigates around obstacles to find the fastest route, while Alexa, Google Home, and Siri-enabled voice commands add another layer of convenience.

Yeti Yonder Water Bottle
Proper hydration is the key to any successful adventure. While stainless steel options can handle abuse on the tails, they also weigh down your pack. Yeti's solution is the Yonder Bottle. Available in 750ml and 1L, the bottle was strategically engineered to be both lightweight and virtually indestructible, allowing you to haul the hiking essential further. Its cap is 100% leakproof and provides quick sips through the spout or opens up wide for refills and washing. Surfer John John Florence put the Yonder through its paces by taking it 3,500 miles across the ocean to fill it up, earning it the trademark "Easy to take. Hard to break."

Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni Robot Cleaning System
Clean floors no longer require hours of sweeping and mopping. Combining a vacuum, mop, and auto-cleaning station, ECOVACS takes the cleaning experience to a new level of convenience with the DEEBOT X1 OMNI Robot Cleaning System. Equipped with YIKO, the industry's first natural language for home service robots, the vacuum features AI voice interaction technologies, including voice semantics from Google, allowing users to control the DEEBOT with just their voice. Ask it to modify settings, check on the status, or clean a specific room. Before the device gets to work, it creates a precise map of your space and plots a path, ensuring every inch is thoroughly and efficiently cleaned. It also detects objects in its way in real-time, navigating around furniture and sleeping pets, and automatically transitions between carpeted areas to all hardwoods. When the cleaning is done, the DEEBOT auto-empties the dustbin after vacuuming, auto-washes the mops and auto-dries them with hot air to avoid any bacterial growth, and lastly, auto-refills with fresh water, so it's ready for its next mopping job.
