Dec 2 2008Wait, What?: A Gas-Powered Snowboard
Hammacher Schlongmeister, purveyor of the utterly ridiculous, is selling a gas-powered snowboard this year. Because, you know -- shit, beats me.
This is the gas-powered vehicle that combines the thrill of riding a snowmobile and the freedom of a snowboard, enabling you to surf effortlessly over the deepest fresh powder or on packed, granular snow. Powered by a 6 1/2-hp four-cycle gasoline engine that starts with a pull, it can accommodate riders up to 250 lbs. and has a maximum speed of 18 mph, operating up to two hours on only 3/4-gallon of gasoline.
All that and it'll only set you back $2,000. They're practically giving them away! And as a guy who's broken his arm snowboarding, I've got to admit: two grand is a small price to pay to shatter it again. *CRUNCH* I can see the bone!
Gas-powered snowboard secures your dominance over nature [dvice]

7. PLEEEZE! - December 2, 2008 11:29 AM
Okay. Since I am the last man on earth...I think it should be rocket powered.

...or at least use spacetime repulsion and fly like an UFO.

It looks sort of retro...is there a steampunk version?

Thank god there is finally a graceful solution for getting stuck on a catwalk. I'm sure the resorts will be happy to allow this on the slopes. I don't see how this couldn't possible be considered THE biggest advancement in snow sports EVER.
Ok, I'm done.

I almost don't want to post and break your streak, but....
STOP!!!

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was on his motorized snowboard, escaping from Biff, and he found out it doesn't work on water.

Any other pervs here visit empornium.us? Because the best seeded torrent there is called "homemade of daisy with nipple rings and a great smile and the prettiest vagina i have ever seen in my life" and I was wondering if it's what our Daisy posts on the net when not posting here.
16. blp - December 2, 2008 11:42 AM
Oh you're here Daisy. Tell me, is it you, you dirty girl?
17. Moose Knuckle - December 2, 2008 11:43 AM
This is clearly a formal request for injury.
18. Dennis - December 2, 2008 11:43 AM
Daisy, how many films do you know?
19. LSDiesel LllooOooOvVvVVeeEeeErrrRRrr - December 2, 2008 11:44 AM

20. PLEEEZE! - December 2, 2008 11:45 AM
clearly Daisy does NOT read the comments or else would reply. Or would (s)he?
21. Spam - December 2, 2008 11:47 AM
That thing would sink in powder. $2000POS.
22. PLEEEZE! - December 2, 2008 11:53 AM
surface area x snow compaction x speed = floatation. Depends on the conditions. Prolly wouldn't use in deep, fresh, dry pow.

#14 Daisy, I see your at it again with your usual cut and past comment.
24. Rich Wubble-U - December 2, 2008 12:32 PM
Wait....Schlongmeister? Hahahahahahchokedie
25. DannyJ - December 2, 2008 12:40 PM
These have been about for ages... they were on Top Gear or 5th Gear (can't remember which) last year in the UK... or maybe the Gadget show...
26. da mighty perv - December 2, 2008 1:54 PM
no. no no no no, no no...............no no no no.
27. LSDiesel - December 2, 2008 2:22 PM
@19, I can't help but think that you're a dude, and kind of an asshole too.
But if you really want to go snowboarding with me, I'll be at your place at 7.
28. rainbowcinderellageek - December 2, 2008 2:22 PM
call me when it can go faster...then i might give some money.
29. boredom - December 2, 2008 3:50 PM
seriously though, 18 mph? That's retardedly slow for snowboarding. I personally hit a record 58.6mph last year and plan to break the 60 mark this year. Even beginners have no problem hitting 20mph on a snowboard. I say POS

Oops Daisy, You kinda failed on this one. Biff didn't chase Max (Marty), it was Griff that time around...
