Tony Hawk Rides World’s First Hoverboard Via Hendo Hover

November 18, 2014

All-time skater great and cultural icon Tony Hawk got the first crack at riding the world’s first hoverboard, and the internet has loved every second of it, giving the video over a million views in its first day.

You might remember Hawk riding a hoverboard last year. However, it was later found as a Funny Or Die hoax.

This hoverboard, brought to us by Hendo Hover, is the real deal, running off magnetism. The company says it’s the ‘Model-T’ of hoverboards and hopes this technology evolves into something we can ride onto more surfaces soon.

Maybe Marty McFly’s 2015 Hill Valley wasn’t far off!
