Droneboarding is the New Snowboarding

When I was a kid, you waited in the snow for a passing car and grabbed on, letting it pull you along for a wild ride. We called it tow-line snowboarding. You kids today with your drones and your droneboarding. Pfft!

Here are two videos of people droneboarding. Same thing as tow-line snowboarding, but instead of being pulled by a car or truck, you are pulled by a giant quadcopter while on a snowboard. It looks like fun, but it definitely takes some of the danger out of it.

There’s no one to step on the brake so your head hits the rear bumper, no danger of swerving into oncoming traffic etc. You kids and your constant need for safety. I have scars, what do you have? Well, okay, you have a cool drone. I’m just jealous.

Boarding, Unbound!

Winter is in full swing and Lumbos is this season’s must-have snowboarding accessory! The innovative design mounts between your board and existing bindings and allow your feet to shift independently for a more free and comfortable experience. Like a skate or surf board, you can make shifts in your stance at any time for a more controlled ride. Easier on the feet and legs, it also goes a long way to prevent muscle exhaustion on and off the lifts. See it in action —>

Snowboard Bicycle Attachment

Turn your bicycle into a snowboard (of sorts) and then right back into a mountain bike with the Bike Snowboard. This mono-ski attaches to your bicycle’s front tire for gliding down the slopes and pedaling on snow-covered trails. The best part about this board is that it attaches right to your tire and you don’t need to remove your front wheel to use it.

That’s flexibility. Pedal through the trails and when you hit the snow put your snowboard on. The board’s adjustable rails clamp on to most tire sizes with jaw pins and leash straps to help keep it in place. The board has a full steel edge and side-cut curved tip so you grip and carve on the packed stuff (or ice) yet are able to float atop the deep powder.

As the board carves through the snow, it creates a flattened track in the snow so the back wheels can get a bit of a better grip and more pedaling power. If you’re really feeling adventurous you can strap on a 2nd board to the rear wheel and really go crazy heading downhill. Available in 3 sizes and weighs a bit under 5lbs.
