Pretty awesome, but the magnet thing sort of kills the cool factor...suppose ripping one at the special hoverboard park would be pretty awesome though....

Holy crap, they did it! The engineers at Hendo just released this video showing a real world fully working Back to the Future style hoverboard. And it actually works! And they are Kickstarting it! Yes, I'm VERY EXCITED which is why I'm putting exclamation marks everywhere!
They claim this is their 18th prototype, so things to be pretty advanced. As you can see in the video, it can supports the weight of one human. The hoverboard doesn't float over any surface, however. It requires a metal ground to work its magnetic magic, but who cares.
They also want to build special hoverboard parks for it, optimized for the hoverboard capabilities.
