It's real folks. Actually kinda brilliant coming from an Automotive company. Lexus will be testing the hover board in Barcelona this Summer. It works on liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and magnets. Crazy stuff.

Lexus says the project has been in development for 18 months, and works using liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets. Unfortunately that also means the board is only usable on a metal track or surface -- in the video it appears that it is working on a normal skatepark, but Lexus has confirmed there is a metal layer underneath.

It's funny to me how many 'grown-ups' are so excited about this who don't even ride a skateboard. Your fat lazy old-man excuses aren't going to disappear with the wheels.
Go skateboarding. It's fucking awesome.
- Thinking that this kind of tech is only limited to skateboarding is a small way of looking at it.Al_dizzle
- ...if its real anyway.Al_dizzle
- this tech has been in use for high-speed trains for decades, btwmonospaced
- it's commonly known as MagLevmonospaced
- once you are 'grown-up' and go skateboarding again...
bone fracture!uan - Just go cruise around, you won't break anything! Probably.nb
- Yeah, this technology isn't new. I'm not saying they shouldn't work on it, and it is cool. But so is regular skateboarding!! And it's here now!nb

...the key to a real hoverboard working on all surfaces, except liquid water... is portable-ized, thermonuclear three-dimensional mid-air acoustic manipulation. you're welcome.

That is so cool. Pretty sure Jesus could do this.

updated:
nice how they put a Rudimental track.
- can't really get too excited about this until it doesn't have so many hefty prerequisites for it to workmonospaced
- until then, this is more of a hover hack than a hover boardmonospaced
