As long as it comes with a free chicken, I'm sold!

Whats the explosion capability on that thing it the poop hits the fan? IE, he goes upside down at full force?

 

[DigDog]

anything that lifts 200 pounds has the potential to fuck up your day.

Sean O'Kane: So there’s three parts to this, right? The board, a fuel tank, and a remote?

Franky Zapata: Yes, the thing I have on my back is like a Camelbak but it’s full of kerosene

Have fun with that.

Can you imagine the day when battery technology will be compact enough and powerful enough to power this thing for a few hours?

imagine how you can be your own nightlight as the only way that's possible is with a nuclear battery

They lied! HOVERBOARDS DO WORK ON WATER, BIFF!

I imagine a day where battery can be smaller and pack much more energy than they do now; I also imagine a day when electric motors are very efficient where they can provide the lift for this device. Not too distant future, both of those feats will be a reality.

Exactly...if it was a "hooverboard," wouldn't suck?

electric motors can already be something like 99% efficient

That doesn't look like a board at all. More like a little grill. Pretty cool but I would have to put it with the same category as winged suits, fun but too dangerous to try.

 

[pontifex]

this looks like way more fun.

I've never been interested in doing cosplay until now :wub:

I saw a pretty funny hoverboard accessory the other day, the segway kind - they sell a $70 attachment for it that lets you be ultra-lazy:

If you scroll down, they show people riding around sitting on top of coolers. Or if you like luxury, throw your lawnchair on it...hahahaha:

Very cool! I'd love to try one... over water in case of disaster.
