The mixtape seller by pacific place is hoverboard'n now as he harasses people.  I was too late, but just before these pics, I saw him hovering halfway up the block trying to sell his crap to a guy trying to walk away from him.  Hoverboard'r just kept hover'n shoulder to shoulder with the guy for like 50 yards.







Mix tape sellers in Vegas are the worst.  Stop to talk to one and before you know it there are 5 others wanting to sell you their crap.  Lesson learned on last visit....say no thanks and keep walking.

You can keep walking, but my man will now be hovering right along with you.

I had a guy in sf ask me for 75 cents. He followed me for 3 blocks begging for 75 cents before finally cussing me out and bothering someone else

How do hoverboards handle sand on a sidewalk?  Do they just roll right over them or does it act like a shopping cart wheel does when it hits a piece of gravel?

AMC was running a Back to the Future marathon this weekend. I was talking with my kids about how Part II's 2015 differs from today (Cubbies :lol:), and my wife chimes in "well, they did finally invent the hoverboard." So then my son goes bonkers and is all "I'm totally getting a hoverboard for xmas!" What do you do in that situation? Tell your wife she's wrong in front of the kids, or just stay quiet and hope the kids forget about it? I opted for silence.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Not correcting the wife is always the best way to live. Good call.

I'm going to make sure to keep some marbles in my pocket so that if I encounter that hoverboard guy (not Trim) I can just dump them on the ground in front of him.

I'm planning to greet the 4/28 seattlePAK arrivals at SEA on my hoverboard.  The straightaway from the terminal to the light rail will be my best chance to see how fast I can go.

So, there's a kid on my street who got a Hoverboard for Christmas. Little dude is probably ten years old, and he rides this thing everywhere. I'm not even sure he knows how to walk anymore. He made a ramp for it so that he can roll from the house, off the porch, and onto the driveway. This kids takes it down to the 7-11 to pick up snacks, he plays hoops while on his hoverboard, he operates a dog walking service by hoverboarding a bunch of dogs around the neighborhood on leashes. I'm assuming he is the most popular kind in school and will go onto be a very successful adult. Clearly this kid has it figured out, and the rest of us are just playing catch up.

That is exactly where I was heading with that line of questioning.

Oh that reminds me that I need to go see if they have a bag of marbles at the dollar store.

Amazon's out of the hoverboard game, but these are reputable.  I think they were going for over $1K when the market was booming.
