Alaskan Rover Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Check out this Arbortech Airboard. It's a hecka lot WIDER than I was thinking it would be. They were touting as being akin to the "airboard" that Michael J. Fox rode in Back to the Future. NOT!!!! It's basically a tiny hovercraft that you stand on like a commuter. I can't see it selling much, unless you can ride it on the roads....it's too wide for anything but an outdoor mall. Can't ride on grass, uneven terrain. Not exactly a "board." Looks fairly fast. In short I think it would be great for a great big mega-size air-hockey game, except people would be riding these things around on the rink, instead!! Also be really cool for "bumper cars"! :) Nonetheless, it'd be cool to try. But in general, my opinion of it is: "meh". Unless the thing flies or could be a LOT smaller and more manageable, it's too much like riding around on a lawnmower....more like a leaf-blower. It'd make a hellacious vacuum, though!! http://www.arbortech.com.au/view/airboard-downloads/airboard-video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin A. Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I saw those on TV a couple of years ago, they were demonstrating them on a beach down on the wet sand. I imagine that they could be a lot of fun on a calm lake or river too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
