The gift of gab

Talking skateboard

Still need a last minute X-mas gift for the guy that runs your favorite skateboarding web site? How about this amazing Street Smartz Interactive (talking) Skateboard skateboard?

This skateboard talks, teaches, and offers feedback! There’s nothing like it! Our amazing, interactive skateboard will have your child shredding in no time. Its unique technology actually measures foot pressure, turns, speed, and more–then offers personalized tips for improving technique. A separate coaching mode teaches popular stunts step by step, while the free-styling mode features exciting sound effects. Later, turn off the power, and your “shred head” has a cool, cutting-edge 28″ board! For kids 41-160 lbs. Requires 6 “AA” batteries (sold separately). For ages 6 and up.

Forget about hoverboards. This, is the board of the future.

Alas, this skateboard is not actually available for sale anymore, as it’s been discontinued. Imagine that! Now that I can’t have this, I’m dying to have one.

    “nice posing bro!!”

  2. egbert says:

    “After this sess you want to get some hookers?”

    “Do you have an extra syringe, bro?”

    “Stop whining you pussy…bro”

  3. enemy combatant says:

    “You call that a kickflip? You suck, bro.”

  4. skatebroke says:

    “awesome bail!”
    “20 minutes into the session and your already tired? you suck bro.”
    “hey barney, you mind dropping some pounds bro?”

  5. Kilwag says:

    I’m sorry bro, I’m afraid I can’t do that. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

    I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen, bro.

  6. egbert says:

    “You hear that clickety clack bro? That’s a flat spot. Pull your head out of your ass…brohime.”

  7. Ryan Heckler says:

    “first push really hard on the tail, then jump up and land…you just learned how to ollie bro…”

  8. Hateboard says:

    this deck is 28″ of cutting edge shape….bro.
    in 1986, bro.

  9. Kilwag says:

    1986? No way, that thing looks more like a pregnant popsicle stick!

  10. bailgun says:

    does it come with a heckle feature? “wrong push foot, kook!” or “if the front wheels don’t touch the deck, your rock and roll does NOT count.” or perhaps “no matter how many flyouts you do, they will never be cool.”

  11. Ryan Heckler says:

    somebody should really consider loosening that poor kid’s trucks, all that lean and the poor kid still cant get a carve.

  12. skaterdave says:

    I wish my board had a “shelvable window box with fold-over 5th panel”

  13. Ryan Heckler says:

    are those built in rails or are they molded hand grips?

  14. Conahan says:

    It would be great to hack a bunch of those things at Toys R Us. Some suggestions:

    “Your mom must hate you.”
    “You’re wearing pull-ups aren’t you?”
    “Where did your mom go with that tattooed guy?”
    “Jimmy, they’re all out to get you. Kill them.”
