    Hot damn, do want. Even if it's just a novelty gimmick, that's one hell of a conversation piece.

    WANT!

    Although judging by how close I got to crippling myself on a normal skateboard, this could be very dangerous.

    I'm not even remotely impressed. It's just sitting there, floating an inch above a designated area. Can it move? Can it be used elsewhere? Can it support the weight of a grown man? Wake me up when you can answer these questions positively.

    5 years from now(or less) they could have a fully functional hoverboard able to support human weight and fly fast.

    Still astounded at thin it is.

    It doesn't need to support the weight of a grown man, only the weight of a McFly. :lol

    I'd be perfectly happy if it could support the weight of a remote control or a beverage.

    "Hey guys, have you seen the tv remote anywhere? Oh, that's right; it's on my ... hoverboard."

    That would be heavy.

    Everytime I watch Back to the Future 2 I get depressed. Where the hell the flying cars, hoverboards, Nikes that tie themselves, jackets with blowdrying systems, hydrating pizzas, and 3D Jaws ads?

    I'm mean c'mon! It's 2010 already! :p

    Great Scott, it would.

    Just being able to say that would be worth the price alone.
