    I readily admit that Back to the Future was a huge influence on me getting into skating the following year (1986). Still love the movie!

      Wait…Per Welinder;I get it now,haha!

      BTW,seen on ebay;
      -Valterra BTTF deck (common)
      -a guy that made a replica of the hooverboard
      -a skate deck with a screenprint resembling the underside of a hooverboard.

      1. I think all those things are listed and shown in the BTF link in this post.
