North Face Avalanche Airbag Apparel

I’m sorry that this awesome electric skateboard driven by a Kinect is not available to everybody. It’s a collaborative work finished by guys from Chaotic Moons Labs. A skateboard is equipped with a Microsoft’s Kinect controlled by a Windows 8 Samsung Tab, and it can reach a maximum speed of 32 mph when on the road. Of course it’s also easy to use: push your hands forward to speed up and do the opposite to slow down. Oh man, how I wish I could ride on the skateboard too…
