SNOWMOBOARD Gas powered snowboard

[SnowbordrWRX]

The precursor to the powered hoverboard in Back to the Future II :)

dude patent the idea .. and start making money cause i would buy this

[fermerwuvu]

there is something like this allready..

[inphiniti420]

wow

[markushuo]

I just wonder what might be the maximum soft snow depth for this board to be able to travel. Have you tried? There are many complicated things to overcome before this kind of powered snowboard will be useable in different snow conditions and travelling up and downhills and on flat ground or even sidehill. I have made some tests and found out that its hard to find optimal solution for steering that would work in hard and soft snow.

i'd honestly get this patented fast. this kind of shit will fly in alaska

[MotoGuy8282]

i had this idea back in 8th grade and i honestly thought nobody would ever think of it. props to this guy for actually having the time and the motivation to build this.

[FnLkZ]

this shit is hysterical

[Ndorfin96]

Dude, you rock! Copywrite your prototype and get building. You'll sell a million! I'll even give you the name: "Zero Gravity Snowboard" (Although 'snowmoboard' is pretty good) But why not ride back UP the hill on your Zero Gravity Snowmoboard? Good luck and get selling! I'll check back to see if I can buy one...

[hurtlingdeathmachine]

I want to give you credit for even trying to build that thing. I design and prototype things for a hobby and it is not easy. You have some important design elements though. The chainsaw engine will reduce the weight over other engine types while maintaining a healthy amount of power. The centrally located engine also helps to keep this thing ridable. Hanging the engine off the back makes the board unstable because the balance is so skewed. Good job.

While it is a redneck contraption, it was no accident that it turned out as good as it did. I didnt take the time to draw anything out but I did think about it quite a bit before I started building because I dont like to waste time building stuff that doesnt work.

[newkid556]

that is the illest thing i have ever seen how did u desighn that

[ynotpyro]

I just built it in my head, no drawings or measurements, I just got some parts that looked like they would work and used scrap metal to hold it all together. A little cutting, grinding and welding and I was done! Total redneck contraption.

[kountouGR]

cool

[teddybigbass]

has any one thought of using a small turbojet engine with possibly two small propane tanks held in a backpack and a similar hand held controller. besides the increase in weight which could possibly be around 20 to 30 pounds in the rear it would handle much better considering there would be no drag from a tread. Also it would be function downhill. waist deep powder, Massive pow stick, it would be a beast.

[SavageGames]

It looks very hard to pull the same kind of turns I can do on a normal snowboard. Plus the belt driving that thing would suck if you wanted to actually go down hill snowboarding.

This is a fun toy for zipping around on flat land, in a straight line, but still not as cool as a snowboard.

[ynotpyro]

It amazes me that people take the time to tell the world that this 80 pound contraption wont handle like a regular snowboard. NO SHIT! Obviously I dont take this thing to the slopes. It wasnt made to improve or replace the snowboard. I shouldnt have to explain that but some people just dont have a keen sense of the obvious.

[austntexan]

@ynotpyro double what you said. I think this all the time when I read the comments on Youtube and forums. The internet is great at creating really brave people hiding behind their little keyboards.

Great job on your board. The design looks solid, simple and flat out works, just as all good designs should.

[vincentrocks15]

thats pretty pimp

[ipretendyourpretty]

that Hammacher Schlemmer snowboard looks like ass. and looks like a scooter! wtf is that dude talking about ...

[ipretendyourpretty]

is this possible because its a little "snowmobile" like track in the rear?

honestly this is pretty cool.

hahahahahaha

[ynotpyro]

The track is 28 inches long and 3 inches wide, the back half of the board is almost all track.

[TheEccentricHippie]

Hammacher Schlemmer already has this, prick.

[vettefreak90]

did they have it seven years ago? (read description)

[ynotpyro]

Hammacher Schlemmer didnt have it 7 years ago, theirs is a plastic toy for kids and mine is made out of steel and is for real men. Theirs goes 18mph and mine goes 35mph. They probably got the idea from me, prick.

[TheEccentricHippie]

Except for the part that it isn't plastic, it goes 40 MPH and you're a horribly conceded person, considering that you're stating that a 160 year old company that has thousands of high-class inventors and mathematicians creating innovative products each day actually sunk down so far as to steal an idea from a goat-blowing worthless piece of shit. They may have thought about actually watching some shitty-ass video like this, but then they saw you and realized they didn't want a job mixing cement.

[SurgeSurfCo]

doesnt that just defeat the purpose of snowboarding?

going downhill you wouldnt need a motor

but still it is a pretty good invention

[dr07828]

DUDE!! Snowboard up hill!!! COOL

[draper73]

it's been over a year since i last commented on this video... and i still think it's a great idea.

[mlchael0912]

this Griz fan wants one now for short commute 4 work! love it.awesome idea..goldmine!!

[compaqkiller]

hey i want one of these can u tell me how you built it or build one for me i will pay either way

[skydivr009]

Very nice werk. I might have some good tips for you. You should get a patent pending so you can show it while protecting your idea/s.

[stayballin674]

one of the coolest things ive ever seen

[meeatfood11]

that thang is kick ass

[gohardordietryin]

do a catwalk!!!! that thing is sweet though

[cloud4910]

how did you make it and how much did it cost

[ynotpyro]

Over $700 total, The most expensive part was the Stihl 051 chainsaw engine. I made it out of scrap metal in my garage, it is a fairly simple combination of a motor, clutch, track and a snowboard.

[draper73]

yeah man... i had an idea to do that to an old board but it looks like you beat me to it
