    Frenchman successfully crosses Channel on 'hoverboard' in second attempt

    unfortunately upon arrival in the UK he was told to fuck off and deported !!

    but seriously this is awesome and makes Trump's wall a bit redundant

    That would be handy for going to work, and getting home from the pub.

    Yup, soon they'll be commercialized and sold to the general public. (time to buy stock in jet engine fuel)

    Takes a light and fine touch to maintain control. No room for error. Deathtrap. Remember the "hover boards"

    Hoverboard Accidents Send 27K Kids to the Hospital in 2 Years
    New research shows nearly 27,000 kids were sent to emergency departments from 2015 through 2016.

    The downside is that it needed refueling every 10 minutes with Kerosene, nevertheless a great invention and great fun.
    Great Scott

    Flying at ten to fifteen metres high, he'd get a bit of gravel rash if it upended...
