Celebrities Joining In On an Elaborate Hoax! But When You Think About It, It Is Something To Be Excited About!

HUVr: The Back to the Future hoverboard is finally here

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the 15-year wait is finally over: HUVr Tech has announced what appears to be the first ever hoverboard. Dubbed the HUVr, the device appears to function almost exactly like the hoverboard used by Marty McFly in the movie Back to the Future Part II, but with the addition of a handy iPhone and Android app that can be used to control it. Of course, don’t just take my word for it — if you doubt about the veracity of the HUVr’s ability to float a few feet off the ground, let the dulcet tones of Tony Hawk and Moby reassure you. Seriously – watch the video.

Now, of course, I have to shatter your dreams and tell you that the HUVr is undoubtedly a hoax. A very expensive hoax, with budget enough to create a realistic hoverboard effect and get video appearances from Tony Hawk, Moby, Schoolboy Q, and even a snazzy snippet from venture capitalist Mark Cuban, but still very much a hoax.

 

As far as we’re aware, the current state of technology is still a long way away from creating a compact device that can lift 180 pounds (81 kilos) a few feet off the ground. Humanity best efforts so far are hovercraft & magnetic levitation trains

 

So what is the purpose of this Hoax? Who knows?, maybe it will be revealed in the coming months or fades into the void of the Internet. For what it's worth maybe it could potentially be a teaser for the next Back To The Future movie? Only we can hope.
