People are coming up with all kinds of crazy sports using drones, like drone racing. But a new one called "droneboarding" might just be the most ridiculous and awesome idea involving drones yet.

Droneboarding is like kiteboarding, but with a snowboard instead of a surfboard. And instead of being pulled by a power kite, you're pulled by a drone.

As you can see in the video above posted by YouTuber Valplushka, droneboarding is crazy insane...if you're a kid.

The consumer drone that's shown pulling the kid on a snowboard definitely isn't strong enough to pull an adult, but one day they will be. Think of the possibilities -- imagine a swarm of drones pulling people and things across the snow. Sled dogs could be out of work in the future!
