Boosted Board: Rent That, NYC

I rented a Boosted Board for a weekend in NYC from http://boostedboardrentals.nyc/ It's super addictive. Once you go up your first hill at 15mph without pushing, you'll be hooked. Is there a more fun way to get around the outer boroughs? If you're in Queens, let's go skate! Song by Anderson Paak, Album is Malibu

Have you thought about buying a Boosted Board? Renting one is a great option if you’re on the fence or short on dough. I got one for a weekend from a guy named Phil K., who owns Boosted Board Rentals NYC.

I grew up skateboarding. Recently, I've had to tone it down doing tricks because I got tired of injuries. So the Boosted Board was a great way to cruise in a really fun way, especially on a sunny, bluebird day. It’s more exciting than walking, not as torturous as running, and less intrusive than a bike.

TIPS:

• Start slow and work your way through four different ability modes                                       
• In busy parts of Manhattan, the controller of Boosted Board v1 can get radio interference and cut out                                                           
• Think about neighborhoods, parks, or big parking lots conducive to riding, look for less traffic, slight hills, tranquility                              
• Always wear a brain bucket
   

One warning: you may get addicted. It’s just too fun to blast uphill at 15-20mph without pushing! You’ll start looking for parks with long paved trails. And you’ll be wondering if anyone will create a skate park with the boosted board in mind.

To Bill Gates or any investor out there, please build a giant skate park for motorized boards, like the Woodward of Boosted Boards. It'd be stupid fun and a great way for groups to exercise.
