Hiya gang... It feels good to be here. Some of you may have known my alter ego TeNoM. He helped me get through many a long forum-less day. Thanks for your great comments and yes I'm still alive...well, my butt says different after several hours on the net but that's another story. As for Ikyoto, "Awww shucks I missed you too! Bwaaa! sniff sniff..gimmie a hug you big lug!" As for the Hover Board, it's still in Beta due to the fact that we've lost at LEAST 14 munchkins we were using as beta testers. It seems that despite their small size they STILL get blown off when the boards approach speeds of 100 mph (although one lil' bugger DID hang on until the board hit 140, what a sight to see haha!). We had hoped they would somehow be able to avoid the whole aerodynamics issue by slipping under the envelope but we were sorrily mistaken....oh well back to the drawing board. Chalk one up for those that said we would need foot restraints..... BTW - there is an air brake and a rear rutter but you just don't see them in these images....they might show up in the AVI on account the camera does a 360 on the hover board there...but they are on the under side of the board. So would anyone want this sorta thing? PAN~ federation-21.com
