flowlab skateboard

The Flowlab skateboard looks very very cool. It also looks like something I would probably fall off of immediately.

Apparently, riders use it more like a snowboard, and while it has increased stability over other boards, its slower and is better for riding downhill. These boards have been around since the 90's, but the internet seems to have just found out about them.

parahawking

Parahawking is the coolest sport to hit Nepal. Its basically parasailing in tandem with a bird of prey. Apparently, the birds guide them to thermals (columns of air used to life birds into the air) to allow for aerobatic maneuvers. What could be dangerous about that? I can already hear my mother saying "It'll peck your eye out!"



Looks safe to me. Lets hope that bird ate dinner.
