The reason this one didn't make awesome video of the day is because, well, the video isn't awesome. lol

Still, it's getting closer to where Marty would be happy to try it. :)

Ha, why there is smoke on the hoverboard ? Does it work with gas ? :lol
The citation is just ridiculous, I don't know if they want to impress us with this video, but it's clearly a (big) fail.
I think I'd prefer using the real skateboard here.

This was probably done with superconductors, permanent magnets, and a very cold chemical probably liquid nitrogen.

Notice he didn't show what happened when he stepped aboard the levitating skate board. :)
