Any Back to the Future fan certainly remembers the infamous hoverboard from the second movie… well, it’s Doc Brown (aka Christopher Lloyd) himself who begins the presentation of a new soon-to-be-commercially-available hoverboard from a company called HUVr Tech.
The video features numerous celebrities, including Tony Hawk, Moby, ScHoolboy Q, Terrell Owens, Agnes Bruckner, and Bethany Consentino of Best Coast. Each of them ride the hoverboard in the video, and talk about their experience on the device.
You can watch it for yourself, below. We certainly recommend it…
Despite the star power, high-level production values, and HUVr Tech official website, the internet community is naturally skeptical of the hoverboard’s existence. But, the video is titled “BELIEF,” so we’re keeping our fingers crossed for now. However, its most likely some of the most well thought out trolling to date.
The music is credited to Chromeo, John Saunders, Zoo Brother, and Best Coast.
UPDATE: The following statement was posted on the HUVr Tech Facebook Page. We still don’t believe its real.
Thanks for all your enthusiastic responses! We’ve received a lot of emails and comments, so we’d like to address the most popular questions:
1) Yes! This is real! We look forward to showing you just how real The HUVr is with a series of public live events coming soon to major US cities.
2) Yes! It is safe! Your safety is our highest concern. We wouldn’t release a product that wasn’t rigorously tested to the highest industry standards. When used properly, The HUVr is actually safer than riding a bike!
3) Pre-orders will be available within the month and we hope to ship in December of 2014. Yes, we will ship internationally!
4) We’re working with the manufacturer to bring the price point down to something everyone can afford. Based on your excitement, it’s looking like we can get there!
5) Yes, it’s as fun to ride as it looks!
