- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -2/+32Bit misleading back to the future used some type of movie gravity this is a weird leaf blower thing.
- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -3/+33Mythbusters did it

Fail. - jasmus, on 12/30/2008, -2/+18I was fully expecting the mythbusters clip there.
- spyd3rweb, on 12/30/2008, -3/+18http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=quid
- Disease, on 12/30/2008, -2/+17The fun comes from making it yourself out of crap and turning it into something awesome.
Steering is for pussies. - flossdaily, on 12/30/2008, -1/+16More like Hoverboard alla Air Hockey
- mentor972, on 12/30/2008, -3/+15Random quote about how Americans aren't the only ones on Digg.

- Krinkov, on 12/30/2008, -2/+12okay that was WAY better than the mythbusters one.
Now I just need to find out what "100 kwid" is - KJSatz, on 12/30/2008, -2/+11It's a cruel bastardization of the French "à la."
- KJSatz, on 12/30/2008, -1/+10I was expecting something better than the ol' leaf blower + board + tarp....
- KJSatz, on 12/30/2008, -1/+10You know if you google 100 kwid it asks if you mean 100 quid.
Also, how do you know about digg and the Internet but NOT know what quid is? British accent clue you in? - Lotan, on 12/30/2008, -1/+10I heard they have real hover boards in some place. I think it was California, but the parents groups outlawed them because they were too dangerous. At least that's what Tommy told me during recess after lunch in the third grade.
- rahamm, on 12/30/2008, -2/+11I would be all over that if I was 6 inches tall and was 25 grams in weight.
- Godlike, on 12/30/2008, -0/+8You need a double skirt with the outer layer having the holes in it that are calibrated by the designers to allow air to escape there they want to form the best cushion, what he built just sprays a bunch of air into the water.
- jasmus, on 12/30/2008, -2/+10100 quid is 100 pounds. About $250 australian, not sure on American.
- DemDude, on 12/30/2008, -0/+8Then you'd have two huge fans (two meters in diameter each), a huge power unit, and essentially a large people slicer.

- Bedlam2All, on 12/30/2008, -1/+7I love it when people try to use the same joke that was posted earlier...and it just isn't as funny.
- yngtimmy, on 12/30/2008, -2/+8Means kinda sorta but NOWHERE CLOSE to BTTF.
- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -1/+7...and sold at Walmart for 69.85.

- mikeophile, on 12/30/2008, -1/+5Now, where can i get some huge paddles to play human air hockey?
- Amablue, on 12/30/2008, -0/+4I built something like this for a highschool project a few years ago. Mine is a bit bulkier, but it worked well.

That was a fun project. - Schmapdi, on 12/30/2008, -4/+8I hadn't seen that sequence since I was a little kid - it is nowhere near as cool as I remembered it in my head.
My hoverboard enthusiasm is greatly diminished now :( -
