Watch Tony Hawk Ride An Actual Hoverboard

Posted November 23rd, 2014 by Becky Feldman

Last month, Hendo Hoverboards flew into the scene with a video that proved that they perfected the eagerly sought-after hoverboard.

With many people wanting to get their feet on a hoverboard since ‘Back to the Future Part II’, Hendo Hoverboards’ Kickstarter surpassed its monetary goal.

Hendo is certainly taking the world by storm and even caught the eye of skateboarder Tony Hawk. Hawk and Dave Carnie visited the warehouse and took the first-ever hoverboard for a ride.

Let us remind you that this video is actually real. Thanks to Hendo, hoverboards are real. A couple of months ago Christopher Lloyd and Tony Hawk appeared in a Funny or Die video that pranked the world into thinking hoverboards were real at the time. So, it’s understandable if there are a few naysayers out there.

However, Hawk assures us in the video that Hendo Hoverboards are the real deal. Take a look!

Becky used to play Power Rangers with her Barbies as a kid. She was a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series, probably because it came on before the Power Rangers. Currently, she is living in California, pursuing her dreams of becoming an actor/writer/Black Ops agent who only fights mean demons. She’s written for Funny or Die, as well as some jokes for TV shows that were too good to air. You can also see some of her sketches performed live at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. They’re mostly about the Power Rangers.
