those are confirmed true, though not as fun or accessible to the masses.

I would test it much further from this concrete shore and boats Wink

I accept the consolation prize.
Where can I pick mine up?

You can pick it up here http://www.jetpackamerica.com/jetlev-r200    Oh, almost forgot, you need to give them $80,000 before you can pick it up.

I have not clicked the link yet I just wanted you to know that if this is a joke I will not be happy.  I've waited far to long for this day and will not have you play with my dreams and emotions...    Cheesy

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".

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

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
