Fake or real? Or best teaser trailer ever?

Top bit of advertising that mind!

Reminds me, in Durham City, well, just outside in Gilesgate, there was a land rover dealership, and on the local radio they put out an advertisement saying a gorilla had escaped and could all land rover owners come to the dealership to get instructions on how to help catch it, it was all a big fib!

Absolutely crap loads turned up, not sure if they got something for their troubles, but apparently you couldn't get kicked for them!

Ahhhh... It uses super conductivity... So basically, you need liquid nitrogen and a special floor to use it on!

I suppose as well, the floor will have to be pretty flat or gently curved, as well as if you pull even a limp jump, youll whack the thing straight on the deck and it'll be bye bye to it!

Wheels aren't going out of fashion just yet then!

That's no more a hoverboard than any other faux hoverboard we've seen.
I wish people wouldn't keep showing off these fakeries! We want the real thing! It's 2015, already!!!!

I can fall off a hoverboard just as easily as a real skateboard!

I'm sure it won't be too long before grannies left, right and centre are moaning about the "kids of today" for whizzing past them or knocking them flying like skittles at a bowling alley!

I'm more interested in something a little more stable like a hovercar. Wouldn't mind having a play on a jetpack though

This is what I want. Cars you can jump in, and they park (and drive) themselves. No more driving and parking. No more, I can't drive, because I've had a few beers...Therefore I will have to pay some annoying idiot taxi driver far more than they deserve.

Top bit of pranking when they come out....

Imagine, at a party, mate walks in with an auto automobile, you manage to get his keys, sneak out and go "car, take me to Zimbabwe", then jump out and watch it turn the corner at the bottom of the street on it merry way!

Fun fun fun!

Give it about 50 years, and possibly long after I've rotted away, they'll find a way of making things hover without the need for opposing magnets. In the meantime the tyre industry is still safe.
