So you’re thinking about buying a hoverboard? Well you’re in luck. Daniel Cid of KnowTechie recently got to test one out! And not only was it fun to ride but it didn’t catch on fire! He's seen so many videos of people busting their butts on these hover boards on YouTube, so it made me want to buy one and see what all the hype was about.
You might not have heard of Franky Zapata, but anyone in the UK could tell you he's the crazy Frenchman who has a self-made hoverboard.
Failed miserably?!? He made it about half way! Seriously, when it comes to distance, "failed miserably" normally means shortly after starting.

The man who invented the Flyboard Air has been barred from flying his jet-powered hoverboard in France, sparking a debate over the country’s policies on innovation.
