    Now, THIS. THIS is an actual hoverboard! Not those pretentious "hoverboard" that operates on two wheels.

    More footage:

    Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

    Lot of people decried it as a hoax when the first video came out. I was on the fence, because the quality of the footage seemed to good to be edited footage of a water-pump type flyboard.

    This, though, is sensational... while they've had jetpacks for ages, this takes it to a whole new level.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    well, it's basically like standing on top of a harrier

    instead of the usual open propellers, it uses nozzles to boost thrust

    the controls are pretty much the same as the tethered water hose version

    except this one is untethered and uses air



    but then, it's a much smaller and refined version of the 1956 army trials flying plaforms

    Looking forward to the time when technology allows this to be placed on the soles of shoes
