Back to the Future hoverboard is real
« on: March 05, 2014, 02:41:38 PM »
Just what the title says. A buddy of mine shared this on Facebook. Quite a feat of technology. Though not perfect, it's still pretty unbelievable.

I am skeptical. Too many cameos. I would say more likely to have a new back to the future movie, than one of these boards releasing. Some weird promo deal.

Google results indicate it is not real, but I have not been able to find out why someone would create a site and hype it for no gain.

Most LCOG Builds are like a fat girl in Yoga Pants, just cause it fits doesn't mean it works...

Pretty well done. But fake. No way this could ever work in real life. Sorry, you would have fallen back or forward in a heartbeat. What is keeping them steady? Wash...

That was a well done prank.  I give them props for that.

This. ^^ .... Oy. Just when I thought something really cool had been invented. Lesson learned about believing things without seeing them in person/having more than a video as proof that this is real.

Have y'all seen this?

I've seen the backpack version but not the board.  Could be fun.
