iPad can double as skateboard

The iPad just got a whole lot more intriguing. The tablet can not only help you surf around the Web and check e-mail, it can also serve as a pretty useful skateboard.

Jeff King, who hosts the Fuel TV show "Built to Shred," took a 64GB iPad and, using some innovative techniques, transformed Apple's tablet into a fully operational skateboard. King asked professional skateboarder Chad Knight to try to ride it down a half-pipe.

After attaching wheels to the iPad, Knight took it for a ride. Unfortunately, the iPad's screen cracked in the first try and the skating didn't work so well. After making a few minor adjustments to the way the iPad sat on the wheels, Knight gave it another try. This time around, he was able to ride the iPad up and down the half-pipe without any trouble. He didn't try to perform any tricks, but it certainly worked.

Move over multitasking, the iPad has a new feature that's much more fun.

Cute, but that simply goes in the SO WHAT file. It's like saying gee we can use DELL computers as doorstops and paperweights and then lean them up against doors and on top of YOUR newspaper piles. Spend your time more productively Woodie, then contact us.

Lmao! I love the comment made by one of these guys, “do you have Applecare,” as they attempt to convert this iPad to a skateboard.

The Applecare comment was priceless!
But am not sure if Applecare would cover these modifications?

Perhaps our resident Apple sales staff could help us here?....

Well if you can't figure that one out it IS hopeless.

Oh, it was a joke.

This is great.

Everyone wants to jump on the iPad bandwagon. HP, Android, Microsoft are going to have to get used living in Apple's shadow.

It may have been a joke, it's sometimes hard to tell, but can anyone remind me the last time woodie told a good joke?

At the expense of fellow buddy fanboi Meds-man....

Remember Woodie, your opinion doesn't really count here. That would be like somebody's aid phoning a hotline radio show and telling the listeners how wonderful her boss is. Wait. Too late!

 

[WoodPeckr]

WTF!
Now you are waxing JAJAesque....
You cons are all alike....

Believe me Woodie, everyone north of the border got the joke. It's even been talked about in Terb a few times, but then you do have a retention problem and that might explain it.

 

[WoodPeckr]

Believe I was doing the most laughing at the joke.
Don't know how you missed it.
Ah yeah Apple guys are known for having little sense of humor....

Known by whom?

So you laugh at your own jokes now. Is that because you hate the sound of silence? Sign of a lonely guy.

Every time he posts, he's the joke but he doesn't get it.
