**(Original forum post)-> http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/236706-kickstarter-for-hoverboards/ (here's a link (what I could find at the time of this post) to the original forum post on LTT, it has the kickstarter for the boards in the description, I apologize if I missed any others)

 

Finally we're getting some headway for the consumer in the hoverboard market via the company Hendo. A true salute to the nostalgia of the Back to the Future trilogy for all those folks that enjoy that franchise. Now, if only they could manufacture a true working look alike of the hoverboard in the trilogy! They're using magnet field technology in order to sustain lift above the ground.
