The Real Hendo Hoverboard

by The Editors on October 21, 2014

New York Times technology writer Conor Dougherty hung out with Greg and Jill Henderson, creators of the Hendo Hoverboard. It’s not exactly ready for the Street League, but it does hover and it is a board.

It hovers about an inch above the ground. But when the 190-pound visitor stood atop the 100-pound board, one gentle push was enough to send him spinning across the room over a cushion of air.

Nice to see that is possible. Now, we’ll have to wait until they figure out how to make them turn.
