HOVERBOARD
« on: November 18, 2014, 05:36:05 PM »

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

I repeat

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
IT IS A HOVERBOARD.

There's also a kickstarter with more information:

It was Tony Hawk's first go: I imagine that it might be something where you need your feet strapped to it to do much. Also the current models are really heavy, so it's not yet well designed for standard skateboard tricks etc, it's a very different beast.

You might as well just have metal plated soles on the shoes than have magnets in the tops of the shoes, so much more efficient.
Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.
