New Electric Skateboard

I know Tynan is big on his electric skateboard and I recently sent him an email after finding this Kickstarter skateboard online. They are way, way ahead of their funding goal so it will get produced. Looks to be drastically lighter than Tynan's board and it doesn't use a hand controller. Tynan suggested I post it for the community, so in honor of your rollout of SETT here's my first post. 
Tynan, the site looks great, and I think it's a great idea!

I think mine's about 30 pounds, too... the lithium batteries make all the difference. If I didn't have a board already, I'd buy this.

Am pretty sure a friend of mine bought one of these. Have to ask him how they go!

Actually, since it looks like it's not on the market yet, I think my friend was probably just talking about a normal skateboard called z-flex :). Looks damn cool though, just wish battery technology would get way smaller and lighter soon..

Adventure!

I was seriously considering an electric skateboard, but they can't take being used in the rain.  Not much of a problem in LA, a bit of a problem in SF and a big problem in Seattle :(

Greatest Transportation Ever: Electric Skateboards

As soon as I saw the video, I knew I had to have one. Displayed before me on my screen was a guy carving around in a parking lot at twenty miles an hour on an electric skateboard. It was a beautiful thing.

Years prior Mystery had goaded me into riding a Segway.

Finishing up All You Can Jet

The last few legs of my JetBlue All-You-Can-Jet month should be enjoyable but uneventful (at least as far as blog-worthy stories go), so it's about time to share my thoughts on it, and a few stories from the month.

Soccer in Bogota

The highlight of the trip was, of course, Bogota, Colombia. I've been wanting to go to Colombia for a while, and it certainly didn't disappoint. I stayed with blog-reader/awesome-dude Matt Aaron, who was also kind enough to show me around Bogota.
