I can't dare to hope again. There's still time to make "Back to the Future" come true! "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.
October 21, 201411 yr I don't even skateboard and I'm excited. Up next flying cars, take that Michellini you morbidly obese ghost. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
October 21, 201411 yr Engineers create real Back to the Future hoverboard and it really works. A little more info. It requires a special floor.
October 21, 201411 yr I'm going to go ahead and assume this is a hoax, that way if it turns out to be true I can be pleasantly surprised, rather than get my hopes up and be crushed if it turns out to be fake.

October 21, 201411 yr So far everything that I've read says it's real but very, very limited. Like Gfted1 posted it needs a smooth metal surface since it's powered by magic magnetic mumbojumbo more links http://www.forbes.com/sites/aarontilley/2014/10/21/hendo-hoverboard/ http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/21/technology/hoverboard-still-in-the-future.html?_r=1 http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/21/we-rode-a-hoverboard/ http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/21/7025197/i-rode-a-real-hoverboard Free games updated 3/4/21
October 21, 201411 yr Well, if it requires a special floor (some magnetic stuff?) then it's not so cool anymore. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
October 21, 201411 yr It might be all right for amusement parks and/or specially built rinks. But then it becomes a chicken-and-the-egg marketing problem, with normal skate boards holding a massive advantage. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
October 22, 201411 yr It might be all right for amusement parks and/or specially built rinks. But then it becomes a chicken-and-the-egg marketing problem, with normal skate boards holding a massive advantage. Really? Because I was thinking more along the lines of bullet train, which IIRC works on the same concept.

Otherwise it's wasting spending billions of yen on construction and support costs. But if so, then there is a valid reason for the bullet train to exist. Not so the hover toy. It will require construction overhead just to make the toy usable, and the potential users already have skate boards with free parks nearby.
