Hey now, we have our very own levitation expert here in the States...

Spoiler

Can I put a pre-order in for the 2020 model that can support my mildly lardic ass?

Mind-fraaaaaake!

 

[Nivek]

-waits for something you make that's better-

*not real wolves*

See, and my stuff is seen by several thousand people a year.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, I can google "wolf statues" too.

 

[Sawyer]

Bout time the french do something of value.

 

[Jager X]

It's just stupid, call it a f'ing prop.

I don't see how it's stupid. It is not like they lied to you. They said that it is a working hovercraft, meaning that it actually hovers. The whole thing would be B.S if it doesn't actually hover instead of not pleasing you because it does not support your weight.

 

[The Battousai]

So it's basically a piece of ****ing modern art then.

Yup, exactly. It is an art piece/ movie recreation/ prop, nothing functional, not what was promised. They make one you can ride on, then call it "a working hoverboard".

It's like saying you built a real life ED-209, and it's a Fiberglass statue with a rotating base and a megaphone built it. As opposed to a fully armed, walking deathbot.

You two are lucky I have the wahmulance on speed-dial; not to mention the special-ordered plates of cheese waiting for you inside

Can you google ones you made, Dick?

All it is, is just a gimmick movie prop. No different than the floating "Unobtanium" rock displays some of my customers make using magnets that they sell to Avatar fans. Referring it as a working board, but all it is is just a display piece, is what I'm taking issue with.

 

[Casius--J]

I'm waiting for the real deal, I have been since Back to the Future II was released. Oh well only 5 years to go lol

 

[The Battousai]

You're saying it doesn't work when it actually does

You're being a cranky child about this, Nivek

 

[NHawk19]

Does it work when it's off the stand? I can only find pictures from when it's on the stand or being held.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Typical the french invent something so that when Biff and friends come after you all you can do is give up and surrender.

 

[Immortalfire]

Of course it won't work on water..unless you've got powah!

 

[CrashNburn]

You can tell he's an artist by how unsatisfied he looks with life in that first photo. He's standing next to a bright pink (semi) hover board with his arms crossed!

If that were me, I'd be standing next to it, making guns with my fingers pointing at it and making this face.

Hahaha, this is actually something along the lines of what I was thinking when I first saw the pic! I'd have a tshirt with a picture of the board on it as I had dancers all in pink dancing around the actual board as I were doing the fist pump motion and screaming at the top of my lungs lol.....or something like that!

Yeah, I can google "wolf statues" too.

boy, some people just cant get a break...hahaha

While yes it is a board that happens to be able to hover, making a working hoverboard (as in a hovering skateboard-like vehicle) requires that it not only hover, but hold the weight of a person and be able to reduce inertia enough to be ridden the same way a conventional skateboard has.


This is merely a movie-themed work of modern art, not a working hoverboard.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Can you google ones you made, Dick?

Google has everything, my child.

 

[Manic]

Hoverboards in France, robots in Japan, a black hole machine in Switzerland, and smartphones.


Oh my god. IT'S THE FUTURE!

Not 'til I get my mo'f***in' jet-pack it's not.

 

[Manic]

Jetpacks are all fun and games until the flames from the rockets fry your legs to cinders and the heat from the pack itself burns itself into your back.

 

[AlteredEgo]

Fine. Rocket-boots. I'm not going to be picky.

 

[Manic]

I just want holograms.

Give up the tech, CNN!!

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Japan as Robots, France has Hoverboards. America? We got iPads.

 

[Immortalfire]

This thread is heavy.

 

[BlueLightning]

Well I think is great. Maybe someday we'll get the real deal. Do you think there will be a massive Back to the Future celebration in 2015. Where we could ride our hoverboards, watch hundreds of TV channels at the same time, drinking Pepsi and sending faxes!
