Go for it, right?

The knockoffs spontaneously combust (does not apply to DickStone, I know he wouldn't cheap out)

I was going to buy one because zipping through airport terminals on a hover board looked pretty bad ass, then airlines stopped allowing them on planes, so I lost my motivation.

So what is the Mercedes Benz of HBs?

I got one to give for christmas right before they got vanished from amazon. Everything I've researched makes me think it's real fuckups whose hoverboards are exploding and it's not based on the hoverboard so much. Just don't leave the thing charging way past full and unsupervised.

I don't think it'll be fun for more than 4 months.

Got to try one in an elevator in Vegas, very weird feeling

stunted · « **Reply #8 on:** December 18, 2015, 01:17:57 AM »

i have the smaller and the big 10" one (lol couldn't decide on a size #firstworldproblems)

big one is amazing for cruising. small one is cooler but harder to ride. they're so much fun and the douchey feeling you get is a great high.

don't worry about explosions, get an outlet timer and buy a plug with a fuse. they only have problems if you overcharge

pm for hookups, i can help find some made from the blood, sweat and tears of china's finest child slaves

Wait, are hoverboards a real thing?

Edit: Just Googled it and I was v. disappointed.

AbeFroman · « **Reply #15 on:** December 21, 2015, 09:01:15 AM »

Is it fair to say they don't actually hover? They are more elevateboards

They are sideways skateboards or segways without a handle. They do not hover and they are not elevated...they are touching the ground.

After all the debacles with amazon selling and pulling and reinstating the non-hoverboard I originally gifted, I'm probably gonna end up with having bought an extra one assuming the first one isn't broken or explosive. Gonna have to decide on returning it or keeping it for myself.

If they let them on planes by February, I could ride it around for a month and then ride it right off the plane to LSOC.

Now I know why you guys all want these non-hoverboards.

JFC, Mrs. Gooch. Yes, if I end up with an extra hoverboard and decide to keep it, yes I will let you ride it when you come up.

Really close, but the hill might be too steep to keep trying to ride the hoverboard up to it.

dobberjr's friends are all going to have house fires and dobberjr doesn't care that we are safe from said house fires.
I did ride one yesterday and I think that our decision to not get one or 5 may have to be rethought.
