Pro skateboarding legend Tony Hawk takes the Hendo Hoverboard for a test ride in a new video on The RIDE Channel. As a means to show off this new hover technology, the minds over at Hendo chose the obvious first step in creating a hoverboard. They of course bring up the Funny-or-Die video prank advertising the HUVr board styled after the board Michael J. Fox rode in Back to the Future 2. Hawk can be seen riding the world’s first real hoverboard on a small half-pipe with a copper surface designed for the the hover tech. It’s fun to watch Tony Hawk try it out for the first time and falling off like any of us would. Later in the video he seems like he’s got a much better grasp of how to control the board. Check out the video after the break. Read post ↳
