Sin of pride I know, but I gotta admit I liked how this video came out! Many thanks to all you guys out there who supported it! Also it was about a week later than expected as I was sick, and whenever I tried to record the audio it sounded exactly like it was....a guy who couldn't breath through his nose trying to record something. Hope you enjoyed the final product!

Tony Hawk and the $10 000 HOVERBOARD!

Is it a scam? well kinda. For certain when they claim to be the first 'real' hoverboard, this is BS. Others have made 'hoverboards' previously using either magnetic or aerodynamic levitation. Looks like their hoverboard works on magnets rotating over a conducting, but non-ferromatnetic surface. Its basically the same technology as a maglev train.

I don't know. Seems like a nice toy. Regarding its limitations a bit expensive maybe, but I guess people have too much money anyway. I believe, most of the people who gave them money knew what they did. I hope so. People on Kickstarter should know, what to expect. Also, their Kickstarter page seemed quite normal to me - a bit hype, a bit overpromising and a bit vague on some important details.

It's more that it's being heralded as some kind of innovation when it's really not. Claiming that it's a step towards Mcfly's hover board is also false because any 'improvements' to the tech it uses would still have the same limitations. And then to go on and claim it could be used to safeguard against tsunamis and earthquakes is completely ludicrous. It might make a good 'theme park' scale toy if they can lighten it up some, but even then it would be a fad and I can see a high potential for injury from it.

Don't be too hard on the Forbes reporter. Reporters are now trained to be as credulous as hell especially if they want to put food on the table in the corporate world. Watch the doodoo they're willing to unquestioningly quote from the US about Russia and the Ukraine, for example. TF you should do a number on MH17.

Backround links about physiks (of that) and stuff pls.

As a geeky type person, if they had just done their 'development' cubes as a bit of fun I would have been interested ... BUT it was the whole 'hoverboard' rubbish that really made it fail to me.
