I hovered for about a 10th of a second on the way down to a hard arse floor. Taught my old arse a lesson about jumping on my grandkids' death traps lol.

I linked it up and told the story about the origination of the device and the name of the device and your comment was "race"

Don't know why you went there


You lumped me in with 7th ward then you proceeded to say "ghetto culture" and "little white kids." I'm telling you that in the real world, and not the virtual world that you are accustomed to, some folks just like to play with toys just for the heck of it. There doesn't need to be a background for everything just to poop on someone's fun. You must be a real joy to your kids.

did you even see the context in which it was said. I see you just decided to pull those terms out of the post and make it look as if i just said that but it was referring to the design of the contraption and the name the manufacturer gave it.

these things are dumb. why anyone wastes their money on this, i'll never know. kids would get more from a new game system, and burn just as many calories. it's a hoverboard, they're not exercising on it.

Just seemed as if you were mocking those who have one. I don't see how you get joy out of mocking those who have fun without interfering with the lives of others. If that was not your intent then my apologies.

yeah i poked a little fun at you. Big deal. I did however attempt to clarify and explain the origins of the toy to posters who truly didn't know.

You are probably the only poster in this thread that knows the origin of this toy, most (including me) don't care. But thanks anyways.

one thing i did not realize.
These things use the cell type Lithium Ion batteries as opposed to true Lithium Polymer batteries.

I was under the impression they used the dry layer lipos used in high end RC cars.

Good read for those who want to understand Lithium Batteries.

Prices range from $300-(based on this thread)$800. I would assume price=quality.
