Who is going to get one of these (too)? Can you imagine getting around campgrounds on one of these? Walking dogs? Going to get the mail?

I’ve already seen them at multiple campgrounds. Looks fun.

I'm getting back into flying and people use these to get around airports as there can be a lot of walking from a parking spot to the office, hangar, etc. They are also fun when camping (from airplanes) as I've seen on YouTube and I can see using these at RV camping too. What I tell myself when I see people on these is "you should be walking" for exercise and/or riding your bike (also good exercise) so I hate these things for the anti-exercise aspect but it looks like fun. These do not use the battery type that have had the fire issues in other hoverboards.

It's on my list to get but waiting for a sale, black friday, etc. No need for it now.

A few years back I remember getting pumped about the Icon A5 airplane. Looked like a pretty sweet little plane for quick day or weekend trips.

With my lousy balance, it ain't gonna happen!

Yeah, those days are well behind me I’m afraid. My last excursion into fun wheeled stuff was inline skates. Got a scoped knee from that, and nearly run over by a car.

Sounds like it was safer being in the Corps!

Already had my share of broken bones! Going to let the youngsters (like Neal) play with these toys...I'll watch.

My center of gravity seems to have lowered, maybe I should reconsider...

Need to book a stay at Jetty Park... Ron Jon’s Surf Shop is a dealer...and in range of the campground. I see a lot of the one wheels in the beach there. Probably a good spot to learn. The beach has very few obstacle dangers, and the sand will break your fall.
