All I Want For Christmas

E365> Feature - Wednesday December 12 2007

E365 -- Ah, Christmas, a time of year when a young man's thoughts turn to... getting cool stuff! That's right, E365ers, it's our annual buying guide to Greedfest 2007, or Christmas, as it is also known. So what do you get for the little adrenaline junkie who's got everything? Read on.

Waterproof iPod Case

We don't know if this means that some of you out there are gonna be crazy enough to go surfing with your iPod strapped on, but hey, it at least gives you the option. This baby provides protection from the elements and is water and dust proof.

It features a waterproof seal while still allowing full use of the click wheel and headphone jack. So whether you're running in the rain, off-roading in the mud or sand, kayaking or skiing, this case will protect your portable music.

You can buy the Otterbox (yeah, that's what it's called) for about $40 US.

Skateboard Grind Rails

For the skater who dreams about turning his backyard into the ultimate skatepark. What park would be complete without your own set of rails for all your grinding needs.

Or maybe you're sick of dealing with the cops just cause you wanna grind down the library stair rail. Thwart their party pooping attentions with the Ten Eighty Kinked Grind Rail.

The rail also folds up neatly so you can put it back in your wallet when you're done. Ok, it doesn't do that, but still, this super gnarly item can be yours to own or give to someone else for about $50 US. Busted up shins and knees not sold seperately.

Sky-High Jumping Pogo Sticks

Holy Crap. Someone has reached into your inner child's brain and sucked out his ideal Christmas gift. A pogo stick that can propel you over 6 feet in the air! It's called the Flybar 1200 and while we can well see it becoming a leading cause of household injuries before its second full year on the market that doesn't we don't really still wanna try it out.

Seriously, mom, can I have the insane pogo stick in the window? At $300 US it's not cheap, but the memories? Priceless.

Bluetooth Helmet

This is cool, no doubt about it. We've told you about this baby before and with Christmas on the way it might be the perfect time to hit up that someone special in your life and get them to buy you the bluetooth helmet.

Picture the scene. You're skating down the road or riding down the slopes and you feel like listening to some tunes. Instead of fiddling with wires you simply activate a control on your helmet and you're off and running. Yes, you are James Bond. Yes, you're pretty damn cool. It's all true. Cause of your helmet.

This is where you can buy it. The price of unquestionable coolness? $300. Well it beats the $500 000 for the Ferrari.
