"The HUVr Board team ultimately aims to improve the efficiency, speed and sustainability of mass transportation. Yet rather than spend several more years closed off from the world while investing in research and development, the team and our world-class investors have worked to change the economics R&D by marketing this exciting consumer product in order to fund ongoing R&D." - From the website. Still trying to figure out if this is real though
I hope this becomes a reality eventually. The only hoverboard we have now is that giant drone, that one guy built that he can fly on (it's not really a hoverboard).
I remember in the 90s when we used to smash pumpkins. We discovered pumpkin sliding. Basically if you take a large pumpkin and smash it and you have a big enough piece to stand on, you stand on the skin rather run and jump on the skin with inside against the ground if you are on the street you will slide. Like a giant banana peel. Works great on hills. Anyhow I remember people driving by from the bottom of the hill seeing us sliding down the hill (kinda like Gummby, damn it) they would come around and say "is that a hoverboard" and we are all like no silly... we are pumpkin sliding of course hoverboards are not real. I always knew since then they would never exist. But pumpkin sliding will always remain the most underrated activity in modern times bar none. Actually you could have done this 1,000 years ago on a nice slab of marble. And no, I didn't forget about Pokey.

The popularity of this video highlighted the pent-up thirst for some next-level technology. We were all willing to shut down our questioning brains because we wanted this tech to happen so badly. This video does a great job of demonstrating how insufficient our 'post-modern' society is. What's worse? 140 characters have become the gold-standard of innovation.
I remember watching this when I was like 9 years old and I believed all of this was real. So I went and showed my mom and one of her work friends and I think they bought it too from my explanation.
Mister Fuzzez Look at the Lexus hoverboard vid, it's basically a similar idea where there are areas with and artificially produced magnetic field, also click the description and it shows you, hoped this helped
Y'all got millions of view playing with our minds, entertaining though. We still need another 30 or 50 years to get there. But i cant stop loving this illusion.
sonia anselmo exactly sonia anselmo, tell me why the fuck am i a loser? because i told you the truth about this shitty hoverboard? if you believed it then the only loser here, is you.
never . if this was real Then they would have brought big headlines in NEWSPAPER OR TV: VIDEOS on youtube and co you can never believe (most) where it is about what incredible. Be it yetis etc
This was fun. It also anticipates what come about eventually. Already there are precursors to actual working hoverboards which have their problems but with better technology, it will come about. Of course the physics of how real boards would work and the techniques to use them would be a bit different from the fictional depictions. People can make boards that float now but the issues are power, stability, safety and limited flight time or being limited to a specific surface to hover over as in magnetic boards.
Actually, it needs to ve a wire, this was just a test, its not finished so they need security messures, and also on all the video there are no wires, except from that part
While its hard to believe, I'm not going to take that as proof, that could have easily been power lines and the crane I think you are talking about is a billboard. I doubt they would put all that effort into a project to leave evidence behind. Regardless, its very hard to think of this as real, but it is 100% possible, so I'll have my fingers crossed.
It's not April yet, guys. For that matter it's not 2015 yet. Just one of those things you know isn't real but would kill for to make it real. If these are ever made, I'm quitting my career and becoming a professional hoverskater.
Obviously fake, some sort of marketing campaign. But they really shouldn't be playing with people's feelings like that, I've wanted a hover board all my life :-(
