The Hendo Hoverboard

General Discussion
21

Only thing closest to coming true from BttF2 is Jaws 3D.

22

then what a shitty future, 50 yrs from now and we will still wondering why literally nothing from the movies has happened yet

23

there are 80 year old men still waiting for the flying cars that were promised to them in the 1950s.

don’t hold your breath for that hoverboard.

that said I still wait for my lightsaber to finally get made, and my ER visit that soon follows.

24

Robotics and AI are coming close to what we saw in the movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU So while transport is still behind (maybe that hyper train or whatever might be the next thing, idk) robotics and AI are too advanced.

Here’s your light saber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96E0RfyL2Gc

There is only one Hendo

and no hover hand for him

only overhands

26

Dont we have those shoes though?

27

There was some replicas of the Nike Air Mags made in 2011…but apparently Nike is gonna make more in 2015.

28

Off topic, but people have done the math and it turns out that they aren’t as economically feasible as people think.


29

you guys better buy this product before all the SJWs and Christians who don’t believe in science try to take this down

30

i thought the thread name was “hendo hoverhand” and thought this would be a thread where we mock dudes hoverhanding in photos

without more info on how this thing works it’s hard to say it’s much more than just another kickstarter cash grab

31

I completely agree. I’m gonna need to see some videos from some White Box adopters before I give them money. And I would definitely give them money, because who the hell wouldn’t give this type of thing money?

Lol, just imagining someone actually trying to use it. “I have to go, deploy the conductive half pipe!!!” It seems to be the only way to get that thing moving.

34

Here’s the alternatives (not so hoverboard)

So…Tony Hawk got a chance at using the hoverboard:

The way Tony was riding the board made it look like there won’t be any sort of ollies or anything like that. Like a cool, more maneuverable longboard (though you can still do tricks with a longboard)

37

how would you maneuver without ability to steer?

‘get off your wheels and take a phony walk’

38

So you need a jetski or whatever to make those waterboards work. Still worth it though.

In the future they will be self powered though.
