The hoverboard has become a reality!

[MonkeyDOH]

That could be cool to ride this hoverboard.

the one thing from that movie that is being made is the auto lacing shoes.
while its somewhat of a good idea, i dont see it being all that practical.

a hoverboard is a simple design, negative on negative poles = lift.
however you'd have to have a very large grid under you, then on top of that, simply thrusting your foot in air would do nothing more than move air.
you'd still have to touch the ground with your foot to make the board move.

turning would also be impossible since simply moving the board would have zero effect on the direction you would go.
this is why we'll never have hoverboards that aren't at least powered by some propulsion device, like the bulldog or pitbull board biffs son (griff) flew on.

kind of crazy how i remember all their names

[Warning__3]

I woumd totally buy one if they were sold for under 1000 euro

You should really look at follow up reports on such events.

I initially posted it thinking it was real, but it turned out to be a hoax.  I was thinking "no way this is a joke, look at all these celebrities involved and Tony Hawk".

[counter]

well I can forgive an honest mistake..  I was falling for it until I seen how high it picked T O up off the ground..  That shot made me doubt the whole thing.  Cool vid anyway but sadly I have lost a some of the little respect taht I had for the folks on the funny or die crew lol.
