The gift of gab
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.
Here’s some more product description from a now defunct product listing:

Nice carving bro? What it should say is “Nice bicycle helmet, bro!”
“nice posing bro!!”
“After this sess you want to get some hookers?”
“Do you have an extra syringe, bro?”
“Stop whining you pussy…bro”
“You call that a kickflip? You suck, bro.”
“awesome bail!”
“20 minutes into the session and your already tired? you suck bro.”
“hey barney, you mind dropping some pounds bro?”
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.
“You hear that clickety clack bro? That’s a flat spot. Pull your head out of your ass…brohime.”
“first push really hard on the tail, then jump up and land…you just learned how to ollie bro…”
this deck is 28″ of cutting edge shape….bro.
in 1986, bro.
1986? No way, that thing looks more like a pregnant popsicle stick!
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.”
somebody should really consider loosening that poor kid’s trucks, all that lean and the poor kid still cant get a carve.
I wish my board had a “shelvable window box with fold-over 5th panel”
are those built in rails or are they molded hand grips?
It would be great to hack a bunch of those things at Toys R Us. Some suggestions:
