Is This The Closest We’ll Ever Get To Seeing A Back To The Future Hoverboard Fly?

Everyone wants a hoverboard. Everyone. Don’t even try to disagree. But while you can buy a lame-o, non-working Back to the Future-style ‘board, it’s just not the real thing. Crazy optimists can hold out hope for 2015, but in the meantime, this clever little picture by François Dourlen is probably the best we can do.


An Iranian Scientist Has Invented A Time Machine (So He Says)

Ali Razeghi, an Iranian scientist who is the managing director of Iran’s Centre for Strategic Inventions, has done something only the great Doc Brown has done: he’s created a time machine.

Little Girl Wants To Make A Hoverboard After Watching Back To The Future II

This short film, “Hoverboard”, is about a girl and her teddy bear trying to create a hoverboard after watching Back to the Future II. I can totally relate to her because I was trying to make my own hoverboard really hover just last month. You’re an inspiration girl!

I Would Totally Take This DeLorean Hovercraft Over The Time Machine

I’ve grown up. I’ve faced reality. I now know that getting a DeLorean time machine like in Back to the Future isn’t going to happen any time soon. I think I’m OK with it. I’d definitely be OK with it if I could replace the DeLorean-sized hole in my heart with this awesome DeLorean Hovercraft. It was spotted tearing up the beaches of San Francisco and great Scott it looks so freaking fun.


Back To The Future’s Newspaper Was Pretty Terrible
