Gas powered skateboard coming to wwbb

flyguy0101 - 27-9-2011 at 05:28 PM

For all those folks with a few loose screws.......... It is a lot of fun and I have hit 19 mph and still had gas left but the few cells left told me to slow down. Helmet required but will be available for those brave enough

just needed to remove the "v=" from the ID.

ahhh man thats sweet. I would love to give it a go! Whats the max weight on that bad boy? I might need to loose a couple pounds before the event to give that a try :)

Won't that be fun.
We can listen to the noise of your skate board.
I think we are loosing the the concept of what WBB is supposed to be, Wind Powered!
Please check with the Wildwood authorities.
I think they may also be illegal. I sure hope they are.

DAKITEZ - 27-9-2011 at 07:56 PM

wow ok. maybe flyguy we can have a go at it away from the others?

If there is one thing I have learned from this sport is you NEED non wind activities to go along with it. If you put all your eggs in one basket (kites only) you will be one disappointed and upset soul. I have been there. But since I have accepted the wind does not always blow and blow perfectly life has been happier. diversify your hobbies or go crazy waiting for wind. Skateboarding is something I enjoy, so this motorized board looks like good times to me. If you bring it I would still love to give it a go.

I understand others may not like the noise. So I will be happy to go away from others to not ruin their chi.

put some big foots on that baby so we can take it on the dunes!!

bugymangp - 27-9-2011 at 08:08 PM

if the wind don`t blow anybody up for a friendy game of poker.
i would rather lose my money to friends than AC.
hey don.
you think like i think. no gas powered toys. thats why i`m leaving my RC cars at home.
everything has a place for fun. but i`m not one to judge.

no gas powered toys........ you mean there will be no beer served at WBB?????

snowspider - 28-9-2011 at 05:09 AM

I'll tell my boys. Will pay for damages! :tumble:

flyguy0101 - 28-9-2011 at 06:26 AM

@ don and Buggyman- I will definetly give it some thought in regards to the noise factor- it is a little loud and i agree would not want to but the bash "at risk," because many think it can be a little obnoxious sounding although it is no louder than a leaf blower or gas powered rc. Maybe JoeCat could chime in with the rules regarding it in wildwood- i do know that many municipalities have issues regarding them similiar to skateboarding in the streets. Obviously if the wind is blowing and i can be flying it would stay in the truck, I was thinking there may be some who would enjoy giving it a go though.
@ dino- i am about 230lbs and it works fine for me.
@ all others- given this seems to possibly be a polarizing item- please respond and i will base part of my decision on bringing it on other feedback. It is somewhat of a pain in the butt to bring given the space and having to deal with the gas, so if many would not enjoy giving it a go, I will leave it at home.

PLEASE RESPOND IN THE POLL THREAD
