Skate and Annoy: Daily

hoverboards

It’s (still) fake.

I can’t believe the amount of people who still think the Huvrtech hoverboard is real, despite the obvious clues. I’m still getting emails asking about it! It’s fake people, what more evidence do you need? If you absolutely need to buy a hoverboard, head on over to GoldenArmoor.com, where they sell kits to make your own replica of the Mattel version, as well as every other one used by Griff’s hoverboard gang, including the Pit Bull, Rising Sun, No Tech, and Odd Man Out. Notice how the parts look identical to the ones found on the HuvrTech model? Click through to look at more pics and video, including Mattel’s collectable overboard release.

The entire collection – Photos from Golden Armor.

Od Man Out hoverboard. Not to be confused with the original skate rockers Odd Man Out or the current (unrelated) band of the same name. (Come on guys, learn how to use the internet. The original band actually released music, it shouldn’t be that hard to research before you pick a band name.)

  • yeaaaa, we’re all still retarded. niiiiiice. as Billy Runaway might say, “Fuckin’things are Lamegerous!”

  • If you watch the video closely, look at the rider’s torso. You’ll notice that their clothes shift in a way as if they were wearing a harness. It’s fake. No doubt.

  • Plus, these promote pushing shit-foot.
