Lexus Posted Footage of People Riding Their New Hoverboard

Lexus announced they made a functioning HOVERBOARD a couple years ago, but the video they posted didn’t really show it in action. But they released a longer video that shows a bunch of people trying it out at a skate park in Spain. And it looks like it really does work . . . but it’s not quite up to par with the one in “Back to the Future Part 2”. This one uses super-magnets that have to be chilled to 300-degrees below zero. And the entire skate park they filmed it at ALSO had magnets built into it. So it wouldn’t work if you tried to ride it down a regular sidewalk. But the video is still pretty cool.
