    yeah, like Sonic Riders! Unless that’s not what you were going at…

    @smokeysteamofficial You should probably just build a flyin’ machine :D

    the higher you go, the less stability you will have…you will “fall off” the cusion of air.

    some other gas mayb help a tiny bit, but not much, and youd need an insane amoutn of said gas. best way to go higher would be to add more power, but youre not gonna get to 15ft.

    can it go on cement

    Question: If I put something besides air in the blower (Like Sulfur Hexafluoride or Helium) will it rise more? Is there anyway to raise it higher? (I want to go maybe 15 feet high)

    ye well he must be retarded, when i was 6 with this much of proof in the video i would hav ekonwn it was real

    this is just basic principles of science, i built my own craft, and it works just like his does, it’s a great invention, IT’S NOT FLYING, JUST HOVERING ON A THIN SHEET OF AIR BETWEEN YOU AND THE BOARD, so now it cant fly over your house, it’s like a sled on dry land, really fun with friends

    He wasn’t FLYING, no, but it WAS hovering.

    Even if you’re half a millimeter off the ground, that’s still hovering nonetheless.

    Fucktard.

    I don’t care I’m building it now.

  15. zackthecurls on November 14th, 2009 9:30 am

    it’d be cool if it was like motorized and he could steer with it :D but I guess it was decent.

    Elite its not fake. Search google for making hovercraft and you will see it IS genuine. Ok its very basic and nothing like real hovercraft but it WILL create a thin layer of air to slide on.

    Admittedly though its certainly not a hoverboard.

  17. mosheo123 on November 14th, 2009 9:30 am
