This is freakin awesome
[quote]We've seen one of the best parts of Back to the Future
Part II become a faux reality with Mattel's collectible Marty
McFly hoverboard, and fans with a lot of money could have even
bought Griff's Pitbull hoverboard from the film. Now 2015 is
just a couple years away, and the version of the future from the
sequel hasn't exactly become a reality. There's no flying cars
and unless Steven Spielberg steps up his game, there won't be a
Jaws 19 directed by his son Max. But that doesn't mean the
hoverboard isn't still something inspiring for young minds with
an eye towards the future, and a cool short film illustrates
that fact. Watch![/quote]

Hoverboard was created as part of the 2013 PBS Online Film
Festival (you can vote for it to win right here), and it's
certainly a charming lover letter to one of my favorite sci-fi
films of all-time. Of course, the sequel only works as a
companion to the first film, which is pretty much the most
perfect time travel film ever made, and easily one of the best
films of all time. Still, the series has inspired countless
filmmakers, made for tons of pop culture references, and great
pieces of work like this short film. If only making a time
machine was as easy as crafting a DeLorean out of a cardboard
box. Or maybe it is, and that's the real key![/quote]

I need to revisit the Back To The Future series soon. Also, I
didn't know they were actually selling Hoverboards, which is
something I'd gladly buy.
UPDATE:
Good lord, the price for the PitBull Hoverboard

There was one shot missing from that movie and I think we all
know what it was.
And lemme say, an idea that was brewing in my head for a long
time is hoverboarders vs rocket-boots. Ideally shot in a
parkour style. Cause COME ON we haven't had either in SO long,
right?
And while a (functional) hoverboard would be nice, I kinda want
Marty's 2015 jacket. Even though it doesn't look particularly
comfortable and apparently the fabric on the outside is a
kitchen mat.

A dude on a modeling board I'm on is trying to recreate the
whole 2015 backlot in 3D. For what purpose I don't know but I
want VR goggles and the ability to go in.

I hate that I never got to go on that. At least I got to walk
around Hill Valley. And introduce it on the tour, that was
cool.
