There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Although interested; I won't be reaching for MY wallet... :shocked:
I used-up too many of my nine lives, while skateboarding back in the seventies. nojoke
Although we DID come up with ne innovation that has stuck with the sport: the wide boards. :2thumbs:
When we first started: the typical board was only six inches wide...
I couldn't keep my clumsy feet on them!
We got some blanks, and cut some ten inch boards. Folks saw them and started asking questions. We sold them quickly, and cut some "foot-wides", and that's where it all ended up. It took about a year for the "trucks" to catch up with the width of the boards...
...And with this new technology; all of that innovation will now be lost. :shocked:

Too bad the working board does not really exist.

Do you think that this might also cost just $6800?

Interesting to look at. For me to buy and try--not. :yes:

TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED
"The hoverboard is constructed from an insulated core, containing HTSLs (high temperature superconducting blocks). These are housed in cryostats - reservoirs of liquid nitrogen that cool the superconductors to -197°C. The board is then placed above a track containing permanent magnets. When the board is cooled to its operating temperature the track’s magnetic flux lines are ‘pinned’ into place, maintaining the hover height of the board"

This is cheating. It is not really a hoverboard that can hover on any surface. It can only hover over a metal surface that the magnets can repel against! Similar technology as a maglev train.

Yup! :agree:
They had to build a special track with about 600 feet of the magnets under it, in order to show off this new technology... :shocked:
