This is the dumbest invention I have ever seen but funny to watch!

Twizz, this maybe your next toy to build! Strap that jet engine you built onto a snowboard.

It works great if you are on a flat surface in 3" of snow.
only $2,500 on ebay.

Too funny! If I could get little motors and snow tracks in my snowboard boots I'd do a lot more backcountry "hiking" in spring :)

Just need to gear the gas turbine up to a small generator and run an electric motor. The ideas are already flowing ;)
