I just bought a Swagtron 8" Offroad Hoverboard. Super excited to start playing with it. I was going to get a generic 6.5" offroad hoverboard but I saw this 8" offroad hoverboard for just $9 more so I had to get it.
Anyone have one of these? How do they perform offroad? Are they safe to ride? lol

I imagine the safety off road with the frontal stance isn't as good as the sideways stance.
You'd have better control of your balance on forward motions using the sideways stance.
On the other hand, urinals and using the crapper will be more difficult with the sideways position.

This is true. There was one Swagtron board with the sideways stance. Looked like a teetertotter. I almost bought it but the wheels werent big enough.

I just got my Swagtron yesterday. This thing is heavy as fuck! 
Very cool toy. Im glad i got the 8" tire version. Looks like it just barely has enough ground-clearance for offroading.
Cant wait to try it out

So I finally got to ride the board. Very trippy toy! It really does feel like its hovering due to its auto-balancing feature. I tried riding it offroad at a music festival that was located in a dusty desert grassland. Well, it did not drive very well. The tires were just too small to drive over the bumps and dips of the uneven dirt-grass ground. Keeping my balance while driving over these bumps and dips was near impossible. I had some luck sitting on it and riding it similar to a go-cart but it still didnt drive that great, just a little better. Might make a go-cart configuration as there is a kit you can add, but the caster wheel in the front would need to be replaced with a big tire....
I saw a bunch of people at the music festival riding on electric "monowheels" which have like a 2 foot tall pnuematic tire centered with a foot pad on each side that works very well offroad. Looks like a vehicle from Star Wars. Looks like Im going to have to save up for one of those!
During my lunchbreak today at work, I took my Swagtron board to the flat, empty parking lot and took it for a test drive. Now THAT was cool! It really drives smoothly. I first realized I was driving backwards (which goes slower than forward), I switch it around and starting riding it forward and got some pretty decent speed. That was really fun. It really feels like you are floating as it takes so little effort to make it drive forward. I tried to drive over some tiny tree seeds, but nearly fell off the Swagtron. It does not drive over small, hard objects very well. You definitely dont want to be hitting any pebbles or rocks while riding this board. Turning the board felt kinda like ice skating, subtle foot positioning and the whole board turns in the direction you are leaning towards. Very cool sensation.
Overall, Im still glad I got the Swagtron even if it drives poorly offroad and is scary around small, hard objects on a flat road. Im excited to drive it more soon. Its definitely a one-of-a-kind toy worthy of riding.

Just rode it again, this time wearing my steel-tow work boots. I feel like it worked a lot better! A lot easier to accelerate. Probably due to the added steel weight in the toe end. Very handy. Im gonma have to get some safety gear, it goes pretty fast!
