For lack of better words, I just recently acquired this "thing". After doing a web search, I now know that it's called a snake-board, which is a hybrid between a skateboard and snowboard. But unlike a traditional skateboard, there are just two wheels in parallel alignment. The front and back of the board are separated by a tubular axial, that allows the two halves of the board to rotate at a sharp radius clockwise and counter-clockwise.

I haven't had a chance to ride it yet. But when I do, I'm sure my next post will be about how I ended up in Glen Eagle Hospital with both my legs in traction.
