Earlier this year Tony Hawk was filmed apparently riding a hoverboard in what turned out to be a prank video. Now it appears he’s repeated the exercise with the real thing.

At least that’s what the people behind a Kickstarter project, Hendo Hoverboards, claim. They’ve attracted nearly half a million dollars in funding for a plan to produce a working hoverboard to launch (in every sense) on the appropriate date of October 21, 2015.
