Are Lexus pulling our collective legs? Gakey McGake or Marty McForeal?

supergake
well, depends what it is. If it's one of them quantum levitation things then yeah they exist, but the whole skate area would need to be metal or a magnet or whatever.

According to the write-up I read early they put metal under the skate park surface.

?
Not sure I get that, I wouldn't class a real skateboard as a toy. More like a self harm device.

What a mega-cunt thing to type.
Congratulations on showing yourself to be a total cunt.

I think he snapped when NASA called something a drone, which i'm responsible for as i am NASA, obviously.

Gake To The Future
No, it's real, I just wanted to do the pun. :D It sounds basic and shite though:
"The hoverboard uses magnetic levitation with liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets to give the hoverboard 'frictionless movement' of a kind that had been thought impossible, according to Lexus."
(www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/11695267/Lexus-has-created-a-real-rideable-hoverboard.html)
Looks like we're stuck with sensationalised everyday science until someone actually makes a breakthrough in understanding/harnessing gravity. And then what would anyone want a hoverboard for? I'd opt for "Floaty Sneakers" instead. :)

How do you stop it flying off sideways at any point?
A skateboard has huge lateral resistance, due to its wheels being firmly in contact with the ground. This will be like trying to skateboard on a frictionless surface.
The back to the future boards had sideway resistance too, or Marty would not have been able to get going in a straight line without years of practice.
No wonder you don't see anyone actually using it - How would you get it to turn once it was going? It would just spin ...perhaps some kind of punting.
Lexus FAIL
