We’ve dreamt of the day when this technology that was first introduced in Back To The Future Part II would be available to the public. Now, it seems that day has finally come.
It SEEMS that way. But I doubt this is real. It looks like they spent more on the celebrity cameos than they did on the actual technology. The company “Huvr” has claimed to invent the hoverboard.
It remains to be seen whether this is real or just an elaborate, celebrity-filled hoax. My vote is for the latter. STOP TEASING US WITH THE PROMISE OF HOVERBOARDS.
Tony Hawk wants us to believe.
HOVERBOARDS ARE REAL (finally!) thanks to huvrtech http://t.co/wYjPaJGY6z #theyrehere http://t.co/7vmi2zz94P

This hoax might be worse than those “parody” accounts on Twitter who keep trying to tell you that today is the day Marty and Doc Brown went to the future in Back to the Future Part II.
That day is actually October 21, 2015, so stop falling for that one too. I am personally offended at the lack of respect shown towards the BTTF series when it comes to going viral…with the exception of Part III.

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.

Not real. I found no patents or press releases from the company from about half a dozen PR and academic publication tools. Also, haven’t found any recent consumer-grade maglev patents lately. “Huvr Tech” isn’t even registered with the US Department of Commerce. Come on, I realize this is a humor site, but a little research, please.
It’s real. I checked the USPTO portal for registered patent attorneys and you can find their applications. You can also find them through the assignment database under the people’s names listed as the company founders in the video.
Apparently they got Mark Cuban as a partner.
You would have to be an actual retarded person to believe this is real.

Brian, if this isn’t real, I personally blame you for ruining everyone’s week.
