Guess what this is!!!
 

Someone I met on the net from Belgium that liked the Jet Luge has been busy prototyping another landcraft. This is prototype #2 with a few parts missing. Powered by a Simjet Nexus 3000. All of the jet related parts and fuel tank are molded into this piece. Can you guess what it is?

Snow board??????????????

RE: Guess what this is!!!
 

Is that the whole thing or just the fuel tank?

RE: Guess what this is!!!
 

its the jetrunner proto ll

RE: Guess what this is!!!
 

Lol that plate on the front end of it looks like part of a coffee maker....perhaps the turbines exhaust is actually faced toward the front to heat up a nice pot! :D

RE: Guess what this is!!!
 

No No and No... well this hint may give it away.. but there are few parts missing (not many) one thing is the wheels.

I would have guessed a working model of a new Back to the Future Hover Board, but it is not that either

Seems that a Jet Scooter is the Win. Jet Powered Razor, Step, Ped. what ever you call it where you live. Just add 2 wheels and the handlebar with the controls. I will post pictures and vid when he is finished. I wished I knew how to make things from composites like this.. I could knock 12 lbs or so off the luge.

Lemme tell ya somethin'----I was the skateboard shiznit when the X-Games were 10-15 years away...Tony Hawk ain't got nuttin' on me!! Half pipe---Bowls---Jumpin' MG Midgets in a single bound---You gotta let me ride this thing!!!---Hell...I'm 44 years old and can still do several 360's on a board....How about it?!?!?!?!????

Kevin

RE: Guess what this is!!!
 

Heck 44 is still young in the speedboard world, but we don't do 360's. I will let you ride when you are ready to put the full leathers and helmet on and skate downhill at 65+ mph in traffic with no engine.... Call it the Jet Skateboard Waiver Test.

here is a training video for ya Kevin Just a little ditty of what we do near Rio.

RE: Guess what this is!!!
 

I like the vid....When I was 16 years old I was clocked at 42 MPH by the local police skating down the steep end of a viaduct that crossed over some RR tracks----The speed limit was 35. The board was nothing special, Kryptonite wheels, Tracker wide trucks for bowl riding, and a Sims 36" laminated board. No leathers just a T-shirt and shorts, some knee/elbow pads, and a light helmet--I look back on all of it and wonder at times how I didn't get killed..:) If I had a steeper hill around here I would have skated it...Have you ever had the board start to violently oscillate (We called it the wobbles) at high speed??? The first time it happened to me I got thrown off the board and wound up with a severe case of road rash..From then on I made sure that I carried a wrench to tighten up the trucks before a speed run.

Keep us posted on the JetSkate!!!
