Hoverboards ad nauseam, yet refreshing

Hoverboards, the mythical flying car of the future for the skateboarding crowd. Let’s run down the hoverboard links first:

1. A fan makes his own adequate replicas
2. Auction of one of the original props
3. Photoshopping hoverboards into existing photos

What else is there? Well there’sa guy in the UK who will sell you a, uhm, realistic looking prop for the paltry fee of $290 USD. Hoverboard.org.uk has some fancy replicas with only sublte finishing differences that are only visible when you compare them side by side with the original. They even sell replicas of Griff’s baseball bat for people who are clearly over-obsessed with Back to the Future.

Lastly, check out the Hoverboard graphic from Boston’s Proletariat, pictured above right. It’s one of those “Why didn’t I think of it? ” ideas. Proletariat’s decks are really well executed, and clearly the winner because they are only $49 and you can actually skate them.
