That's what I was wondering. Why go to such lengths for a weird, legit looking spoof? Is there another Back To The Future something coming out?

Ok so there is an actual website that they made about this. Either there is some truth to this or someone really went overboard with the whole "spoof" thing.

The product is still in R&D, this video is just to raise awarness and look for new investors to fund the project. http://www.ibtimes.com/hoverboard-real-huvr-tech-claims-live-demonstration-back-future-flying-skateboard-video-1559341

There's a company called Haltek Industries looking to make one using fans (like a helicopter) to generate lift, it's pretty interesting...

It's a well designed website and even though there is no hard info, someone took some time to build that website. They also spent a lot of money getting all those big ass celeb names on the product. It all seems too expensive for a BTTF 4 ad campaign.

Tony Hawk admitted that the website Funny or Die made this video and the whole thing is fake. No real hover boards. Would be legit though

what about this website makes you feel like this is THE thing that pushes it "overboard"?

amount of work needed for this website: 1-2 h, i mean there is nothing on there. 1 video, 1 picture, a few links and a little bit of text.

however, amount of work needed to fake this video with all the shadows/greenscreen and whatnot: DEFINITELY A LOT MORE THAN THAT.

if, at all, something puts this overboard, its the video. certainly not the website.

as other mentioned, its some kind of marketing gag for whatever.

As far as spoofs go for a product, this is pretty big. The names they pulled for this are impressive and probably cost a lot of money. I just haven't heard anything for a new back to the future so this is pretty much coming out of nowhere. I understand it's unrealistic... but I still want it to be real.

You can clearly see the harnesses they put on the actors, I think it's a promo for back to the future IV

seriously dude, i am a pretty awful web programmer, but if you paypal me 200$ you can have such a "well-designed" website before you go to sleep today.

a regular web programmer probably would take easily a few thousands for that shit, but thats not the point.

still nothing too expensive for a movie (which probably would cost in the high 7 digits).

No way! Don't ruin my dreams, it seemed SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO legit. Crazy that nobody would have ever thought this was a hoax. I guess it's good the truth came out to finally put an end to this cold case.
