News HUVr Hover board

[TMHLIVE]

Anyone out in our little world see that thing that the verge posted about the new hover board coming out to market. I watched the promo video. Doc Brown shows up in a...you know what. Anyways he hands over the case to tony hawk and moby and a few others to test out and yup thats what they did. Its a 5 min promo video. The website for the company is out and they say it's real.

it's a very well done video but things don't add up. This tech just came outta the blue? why have we not heard about this till now? how does it work? Even without giving out to much info for patent issues you can still hint and they don't. Moby said "I don't understand how this works"

Tony Hawk does trick after trick with it and so on and so on. What do you think? I'd rock 1 in a heart beat but is this another way for a video to go viral? How did they get all these celeb's involved if it is? All questions that may or may not get answered. And if this is a bunch of bull to get a vid viral. WOW...how much did that cost?

Thats my thoughts whats yours?

Check out the video

april 1st is fast approaching :hmm: but that's one heck of a lead in

Everything in the video looks a little too 'perfect'. Something like that doesn't just pop out of nowhere, look that simple and behave so perfectly. They gloss over a LOT of stuff too - what kind of statement is 'it has more technology in it than a satellite'? Also, what's with the guy pushing himself along like you would on a skateboard and speeding up without his feet even touching the ground??

 

[TMHLIVE]

See what I mean. What a campaign of Bull. How much money did these guys have pay out to troll us all. If you look up HUVr on youtube you see all sorts of videos saying its fake but...
The website is out
all these people are in on it

but ya..where did it come from. When did the aliens land and give us hover tech. why the hell is my car not using it? The bottom of it kinda looks like the bottom of the cars from the new total recall that sucked so bad...rip off maybe?

 

[Pipcard]

According to Back to the Future II, we are supposed to have hoverboards and flying cars by next year.

 

[statickid]

maybe there's going to be a new Back to the Future movie...

there have been plenty of 80's remakes and reimagines this decade:

Transformers
G.I. Joe
Battleship
Total Recall
etc...

Also I saw fancy packaged expensive BTTF bluray trilogy sets for sale at the big box store, so I feel like that might be suspicious reason for doing this.

correction:
they look exactly like the movie props from BttF II. :tiphat:

for me this proves its just part of an ad campaign for something else, because WHEN did sci-fi technology EVER look EXACTLY like it's imagined self???

 

[TMHLIVE]

I know eh...It does. They do have other colours out. I have heard that they are doing another BTTF for a long time now. Who knows right cause now that MJF is back on tv and acting on a reg basis may it is gonna happen. Remember the future was changed back to the way it should be in number 2 so maybe they are thinking Mcfly jr or something like that. But who knows right.

 

[statickid]

yeah probably their kids, that would make the most sense to me, just like indiana jones! well i'm not going to lie, if there is a new one coming out i'd go watch it :lol:

 

[TMHLIVE]

Oh hell ya I would to. I watched the robocop. It was not bad but nothing like the original still had to go see it cause its robocop. But I must admit. I am such a big fan of the BTTF series that it would not matter if it sucked. Only if it didn't stay true to what it was. Just like the total recall. I was waiting for mars..never happened. I was waiting for the mutants ...never happened what a disappointment. the only thing good about that movie was the graphics and the girls.

Funny or Die 'hoax'

It seems like sooo many viral videos today are marketing campaigns. (and usually leave *out* celebrities to make it look real)

 

[jedidia]

maybe there's going to be a new Back to the Future movie...

That was my first guess... but alas, we don't even get that :lol:

Well, maybe better that way, looking what they tend to do to classic movies nowadays.

 

[TMHLIVE]

AGREED!

 

[statickid]

DEATH TO FUNNY OR DIE!!!
:chainsaw:

 

[Izack]

Well, it isn't really funny, so I guess death is the only option for them.

 

[TMHLIVE]

ya I heard it from twitter and the verge. Thats why i thought it post worthy

 

[garyw]

Just having a look at the website and found this claim:

Our team consists of materials science, electricity & magnetism experts who've solved an important part of one of science's mysteries: the key to antigravity.

right........

Just having a look at the website and found this claim:



right........

Garyw...you smell what I smell?

 

[perseus]

Yep, every year antigravity is discovered, this year instead of apply to train or flight transport applied to a skateboard.
Aspect totally like back to future.
It is also curious, Its users will not ever fall, it's like were attached to cables or wires, hehe

I prefer the flying DeLorean when he also has the hover conversion installed :hello:

 

[TMHLIVE]

ya to bad its being held up by a fork life hidden in the wall. Just like Q was in Encounters at farpoint. and you totally see it to in HD. you would think they would have fixed that. they did fix the monitors in the back and blurred them all out when not being used for some reason. But ya this is way to silly.

 

[Matias Saibene]

This is my opinion on the fact.

Zach King also made ​​a best video.
