Very cool. I hope this takes off (no pun intended).

Nice, looks like fun.

Magnets? Well, i suppose that'll have to do until someone finds the graviton and anti-gravity becomes possible. But i'll hold my until this becomes reality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x_w2uAWi6c

I read an article on that. Incredibly disappointing. It isn't a real hoverboard until it can hover over any surface.

This one's dependent on a conducting surface - it's clear it's based on electricity and magnetism instead of real antigravity or air propulsion.

The battery only lasts a few minutes, too.

Who the heck wants to wait 2hrs for 12-15 minutes of fun? *wash rinse repeat* Sounds like a venture in frustration to me.
