Web designer Jon Hrach and art director Shawn Hardy checkout Parker's moto-board contraption in the Park&Co parking lot.

Ok, so this maybe more industrious than sustainable. But it’s definitely worth a look.

Our son Parker has been Jonesin’ all summer for a motorized skateboard. No one makes one. So he took matters into his own hands.

First he started by winning $280 playing Texas Hold ‘em at Casino Arizona.

Then he spent $200 of his winnings on a used GoPed he found on Craig’s List (Recycling the GoPed is about as green as this gets).

Then he spent roughly another $125 on a new skateboard deck, trucks and wheels at Sidwewalk Surfer in Scottsdale.

Last Sunday he spent a couple hours on the back patio in 113 degree weather hack-sawing off the front of the GoPed, and custom fitting the new skate deck to the undercarriage.

Here’s the result. Props for ingenuity.
