THE WORKSHOP — OK, first things first here. This is not an actual jet-powered snowboard; it's powered by fans. But it's still extremely cool and worth watching.
The YouTube channel the Hacksmith makes some pretty awesome things and this snowboard is one of them. The entire video is 10 minutes long, and you do have to sit through a small ad for Dollar Shave Club, but it's still worth it. If you just can't handle watching the whole thing, you can jump to about 8:45 and see the board in action.

Have You Seen This? Tiny dog vs. banana
Trust me, you need to start your year off right watching this dog that may or may not be part monkey.If you don't jump, however, you can see the pretty ingenious way they put the board together and watch them problem-solve the issues, which is entertaining in its own right.
The video made me realize I need a friend who's a brilliant engineer and has access to things like a 3-D printer and a workshop. Wait, I do have that friend. You know who you are and we need to spend more time together if you can build cool stuff like this.
