I have seen two or three here, I also prefer walking, it's what we have our legs for and tends to be healthy, too.
Not sure why they call them hoverboards as they don't even hover, they're more like mini-segways.
I mean once we invent actual hoverboards, people will get confused...

real hoverboards actually exist

But ffs just walk or get a good bycicle it's much better for you. People using hoverboards are probably the same people who read up on every ingredient when they buy food, hipster thingie that should die

Real hovering skateboards, Back to the Future style. Don't ask me how but they can, but they aren't in production yet. Could be a prank but a very well done one. gg on both

Only with magnetic levitation like this one and the one from Hendo that they shortly mention:

They need a special surface or even rails though to be able to hover due to the entire hovering process depending on magnetism.
It's not quite hovering over everything like in the movies. If you saw something else, it was a prank.

In general I'd think the major advantage of hovering is to remove ground resistance, but as it stands we need far more energy to make something hover than we could save by avoiding ground resistance, which makes the technology seem a bit pointless to me outside of some special needs or entertainment purposes.

howling to the moon sounds better. Just to make your life seem less complicated, I am trying to court a girl who's ex was liquidated two years ago in Utrecht, more than 30 unnecesary ventilations found. Dinner next friday

Speaking of girls, I might be going on a date soon with a girl whose mother died last year from cancer. Not really sure how to deal with the subject should it come up. Obviously I wont bring it up myself, Im smarter than that I would hope.
