The board looks great, the only thing I think its missing is some way to lock your feet in so you can jump on the board and take the board with you in the air. Apart from that it looks great!

Hi Doug,
It’s Sony’s HDR-TG3E. It’s the world’s smallest full HD camcorder - perfect for quick videos like the ones on my blog. I use Vimeo to encode and host my videos and you can see them in HD hosted on their site. Soon Vimeo will allow me to embed my HD videos in my site, rather than crunching them to standard def.

Looks wicked, and I have to say the camcorder you used has GREAT sound quality, even on my 10£ headset.Not sure if i seen the camera on the gadget show yet tho?
More on the skateboard, if it had places for your feet to take it in the air it would be really good, you should review this on the proper gadget show. I would love one, how much exactly would we have to pay for it

Hmm. Seems pretty cool, I can now do my part to be green and become an ‘Alive Boi’. I could never sk8.
And that camera is really clear, even when moving, no fuzzyness or major, actually no visible pixelation at all.

I have a s-board, my friends shop sells em’.
They’re great, and they’re getting popular over here in Australia.

Hey, wondering how did this board not get at least second in the top 5. Anyway, I was just wondering, what would be in YOUR top 5? Oh, and with the hacking thing last night, well me and my freind know a bit about that stuff, and we are both going to set up our wireless networks with a normal password, and free firewall and see if normal passwords are all they are cracked up to be, On all mine i use a ASCII (i think lol) encription chart thingy on all MAJOR passwords i have. Anyway, i will tell you how it goes

Hi JB,
How did you manage to shatter your iPhone screen? *tut tut*

OMG that is a complete rip off of the x-board. the exboard is less flimsy better to use and looks WAY better!
