Skate Down The Mountain With The Fuse Snowskate
Posted by Nick Broughall at 10:21 AM on May 26, 2008
While the team from Giz in the US is all excited about the coming of summer, here at Giz AU, we're starting to get pumped for the snow season. Especially when we woke up the other day and it was a miserly 2 degrees - when it's that frickin' cold, there may as well be snow on the ground.
The Fuse Snowskate is like a skateboard for snow. As you can see from the picture above, there are four miniature skis on the bottom that let you glide across the finest white powder (or the packed, manmade stuff at Australian resorts), like an angel with attitude.
Unlike a snowboard, there are no bindings or boots needed - just a touch of skill, a penchant for daring, and a lack of fear for the wellbeing of your testicles as you attempt to grind your way down a railing, only to fall off, legs askew on either side and your manhood making its way slowly up through your lower intestine to hide out somewhere near your spleen.
Yeah, thinking about it, if you want to give one of these a go this snow season, best wear a box.
You can pick one up for $262.90 from Funky Barry. If you want to see it in action, check the clip below:

A cup? When did we start using the yank term of cup instead of cricket Box?
Everyday more and more of American language becomes the norm here.
Next your be looking forward to chugging back a beer after work.

A cup??
I know you're an offshoot of an American site, but seriously... it's a box...
And I know it's kinda conflicting terminology given the other meaning of "box" in that bodily region, but in Australia, you drink out of a cup, you don't drink out of a box..
Damn, except for a Fruit Box!...The exception that makes the rule. :-)

@StevoTheDevo & Adz: You guys could be twins :-D
If it means that much to you, I'll change it to "box"...

More power to the Australianisms!!
Does the CAPTCHA here actually work?? For my previous comment the text was so hard to read, I'm 75% sure I got it wrong..

Idiocy filmed in Crested Butte, Colorado.
For the riders' sake I'm glad they stayed off the good terrain there.

Be aware that these aren't allowed at Thredbo, don't know about any resorts. They can be dangerous because they fly down the hill if you fall off them, and then you have to go and get them which is a pain.
