Club where you can get affordable razors
shipped to your door every month hey
guys I'm the hack Smith on this episode
make it real we're making a jet-powered
snowboard like the one seen in agent
Cody Banks or even Treasure Planet but
the truth is I just wanted to build a
jet-powered snowboard now in both of
those jet board examples their actual
jet engines which we don't have but
thanks to our flying like Iron Man
project we have a whole bunch of etf's
electric ducted fans we've even tried
them with longboard before and it was
awesome the only problem was we didn't
have brakes but with the snowboard you
can brake enough talking let's make it
alright so it's about 3 a.m. right now
and the 3d printer is just finished so I
want to make sure that they printed
successfully because I want to snowboard
tomorrow all right looking good crap

description all right so we got the
board all finished up and we're ready
for the first test it's live yeah
alright let's test the jet board
what good news is echo press record at
any point in time bad news is you didn't
know my fingers frozen to the button we
could try the street we didn't have too
much luck last night a few issues one
the snow was way too deep and on the
path it was basically pavement with just
a tiny layer of snow we think it will
perform a lot better on hardpack snow
but since then we've also added some
battery monitors which we forgotten the
test last night which would have been
bad because that means basically we
probably could have pulled a bit too
much power from the batteries which as
you know is pretty bad for
lithium-polymer so let's test it again
should I maybe not put both feet in
right away you lose a bit of control but
you can also save yourself
so that still didn't work quite as well
as we hoped going to wax the board see
if that makes a difference but we did
notice in the driveway it's little in
the snow way better than the road so it
might be because the road has salt and
other crap in it and whatnot that makes
it really not not as slippery as ideal
so we also might look at finding another
place that has packed snow found like at
the bottom of a ski hill that's perfect
but we're not sure if we'd actually be
allowed to ride this there since it is
actually really noisy and kind of
dangerous but let's wax this and see
what happens fYI I am a novice
snowboarder and this is probably not how
you're supposed to whack some board
professionally one of the metal that's
not good the metal wires alright so a
few technical difficulties one of the
wires came unplugged and our strainer
flash intake guard the wire was coming
loose we had to pull that out but let's
get a shot
there we go
said wax the board should I put my other
foot in oh I'm gonna break my tailbone
yeah I should have more control now
because my back legs
the main steering leg see I knew that
Evan
what 8360 so that worked awesome but I'm
going to need quite a bit of practice
before we test this thing to its limits
stay tuned for the next video in this
series where we actually test this and
see how fast we can go how far we can go
and how high wouldn't go as always
