    Buddy of mine got his wife one. I had to give it a try. Actually not that hard if you can stand up on any usual boards or skis but it doesn't take much to lose it fast. I see why all the people including Mike Tyson have eaten it indoors.

    No doubt there have been some back and head injuries but I'm waiting to see them banned already due to 'risk of death'

            It's a shame they don't work on water... that is, unless you got power.

              Yeah, prepare for the cheesy class action lawsuit commercials.

                                Basically one of these burnt a house down whilst in the process of recharging...

                                Looks like an Aussie wide ban will be put in place...

                                            12 year old girl in New York dies from being shot in the head while sitting in her living room. The shooter was a rival gang member who was retaliating on behalf of his brother whose hoeeboard was stolen.

                                            colleges banning them for "spontaneous combustion"

                                            in town I saw a kid hauling ass on something I've never seen, it had one large ball (wheel) in the center with a board centered over it....he could turn on a dime and go in any direction....gunna look it up and post a pic if I can find it

                                              Gyro skate, I guess I'm way behind the times. Wish this was out when I was a kid.

                                              The mad scientist who started Hoverboard Technologies calls his vehicle an “earned experience.” That means it’s hard to ride. Despite the name, this hoverboard* doesn’t levitate. Instead, it uses gyroscopes like a Segway to help you balance with your feet on either side of one giant rollerblade-style wheel in the center.

                                                                Ok. So.... does anyone know how to really use one of these things? Everyone falling on their faces

                                                                What's the point of buying one if no one can stay on their feet? People breaking hips and sh#$.

                                                                  Money, no idea, I have never used one and have no plans to ever try one out after watching all of these videos/gifs (unless it's the porno one).

                                                                  But my guess is that everybody fails quite a few times before mastering the hover board.

                                                                  Kinda like a pogo stick, right? Or maybe even a pogo-ball. I don't know if you remember pogo-balls, money. I would think that you do because I think we are semi-close in age.

                                                                  I fell on on my ass too many times on a pogo ball before I became a pogo ball master.
