Summer Toyz

As you know I'm a huge extreme sports enthusiast. I luv riding anything with a board or wheels. My current addiction is snowboarding but in the summer its a little difficult to ride, unless you go to indoor slopes. That's where the Dirt Surfer comes in. Its a cross between a mountain bike and a skateboard...and its awesome! It can be ridden on all down hill terrain, is equipped with disk brakes and easy excess foot bindings just in case u need to bail quickly. Check out the clip.

Another innovative summer toy I found is the OrbitWheel. Its rides like a wave board without the board and you wear it like roller skates. I like the idea but this is not my type of ride because it limits my forward motion...but different strokes for different folks, so I posted it anyway. The clip is below.

G-Boards (Gas-Powered Skateboards)

I just watched this clip on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z7s6_OdwHc a friend sent me about G-boarding. For those who don't know G-boards are gas powered skateboards that are made for all terrain. Its relatively new technology so it costs $500 now but in a year or less the price should drop to more average consumer level. If you don't have the patience and want to splurge now, I highly recommend it.

The "Wheelman," G-board has a 43cc or 49cc 2 stroke engine, can hold up to 90kg and has a max speed of 35km/h. For more info on the Wheelman and a bunch of other cool bikes and quads go to www.shukeda.com I ride anything with a board so I'm going to try on the first chance I get...check it out.
