Wake Up Q

Looks like we might get our hovercrafts this year….or not?

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Joe Salzone

According to “Back to the Future Part 2”, we should be getting hoverboards next year. But there’s already a new promotional video online with Christopher Lloyd and Tony Hawk . . . where they show off REAL hoverboards.

The weird thing is, no one seems to know WHY the ad was made, because it’s not clearly promoting any products other than hoverboards. So some people think there might be another “Back to the Future” SEQUEL coming.

Whoever made it also made a hoverboard website to make it seem more authentic. And for some reason, the date “December 2014” is at the top.
