snakeboard
A snakeboard, also known as a streetboard, is a type of skateboard invented in South Africa in 1989 by James Fisher, Simon King and Oliver Macleod Smith. The concept was to fuse the original skateboard with elements of snowboarding and surfing to create a fun riding experience. The first prototype was constructed using two square wooden boards, an old roller skate chopped in half, and a piece of plumbing pipe to join them together. Many variants were tried before manufacturing began. The first boards to be mass-produced were made from a strong plastic nylon known as Zytel ST801.
GAZ 3307
The GAZ-3307 and GAZ-3309 (nicknamed GAZon) are Russian trucks produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant. The GAZ-3307 was announced in late 1989, followed by GAZ-3309 in late 1994. Under the GAZ-3309 designation, variants were offered with an extended wheelbase and a modified engine. The GAZ-3308 is the all-wheel-drive version that has also been used for military purposes. More than 1.5 million GAZ-3307s were built, and in January 2020, production ceased after 31 years. Since 2014, a successor has been produced in the form of the GAZon NEXT.
