Back to the Future

Image
Back to the future day was great. It seems the whole world got into it, people from all over, remembing the greatest movie trilogy of all time. So so glad that everybody got right behind it. Even though there are no Hoverboards. My final impressions of this movie trilogy is one of happiness. I guess the day for me is best left in saying this....   Marty McFly got his self tying shoes, and Doc Brown left us with a great message, that even though the future is not what we imagined, it's because it hasnt been written yet. So make it a good one.

LAST POST ABOUT HOVERBOARDS :-(

Image
This sums up it. It seems Hendo 2.0 hoverboard is lamer than their 1.0 version. The Hoverboard dream is officially dead. Here is a link to the  Hendo Hoverboard news item. It had been fun writing about Hoverboards. But now its time to grow up. I will have one more post, but that will be about back to the future. The Hoverboard dream didnt come true, and is at a end. Time to move on.

HAPPY BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY

HAPPY BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY. THE FUTURE IS HERE. THE DAY WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!!!

October 21 2015 is nearly here

Image
October 21 2015 is nearly here. Of course New Zealand hits this date first, but its October 21 2015 4.29pm Pacific USA Time that the world is waiting for. Back to the future fans everywhere will be celebrating this day, and the greatest movie trilogy of all time. What will this day Bring? Self tying shoes, Pepsi Perfects, and maybe just maybe, what could be the greatest invention of mankind. A working hoverboard for the public. I hope the day also brings, cast reunions, stories and people reminiscing. This day which is so special to back to the future fans, of course wont come again, so enjoy it, make the most of it, watch it, dream it. The day of our childhood fanasties is coming right up. Lets make it a good one.

BREAKING NEWS: HENDO TO RELEASE VERSION 2.0 ON OCTOBER 21 2015

Image
    Update 6: Hendo's Statement on the Hoverboard Update:5 Mostly bad news, with a bit of good, Hendo today, stressed they're not a hoverboard company, and and the hendo 2.0 will only walk on a copper surface, there are some compaines that want to create a hoverboard park (like  a skatepark) but that is down the road. In the meantime, you will need a copper surface. The main bad new is that they're stressing that Hendo is not a hoverboard company. Again this up and down rollercoaster ride, of good and bad news is terrible.  update 4:   Hendo Arxpax Official Statement  (Update 3: Reports coming in, that some skate parks  across the USA and theme parks may be developed so Hendo users can use their hoverboards. Im just blown away by all this, completely stunned, of course we will know more on October 21 2015, back to the future day, but this is just plain brilliant) (update 2: Is it time to say... "HOVERBOARDS THEY'RE REAL AND THEY'RE MAGNIFICENT")    ( upda

Madison Avenue ruining the countdown to October 21 2015

Never underestimate the power of money. With a week to go until October 21 2105, and as fans around the world wait with anticipation of a actual hoverboard and back to the future day, the money people have been trying to steal the day. Advertisers have been firebombing every website, spending tens of millions with news stories, promotion and generally BS about that ugly pathetic segway and having the nerve to call it a Hoverboard. I knew the buildup would be bad, when every news site were cheering justin beiber on, as his dancers danced on a segway, and they called it a Hoverboard. I never thought it will be at this level though, even if you googled "Back to the future hoverboard" you basically come up with webpage after webpage after webpage for stories about a "segway" yet the news report calls them hoverboards. Its really a hijacking of the upcoming back to the future day. Heres hoping at least some websites will make a stand, "Vanity" already has. So d

One week to go

Let Another Hoverboard Hoax

Image
Nine days out from October 21 2015, and yet another Hoverboard Hoax. This time in HD, with some young actor, but lets use that term loosely, he's trying to act cool, telling the public Hoverboards are here. The video is a fake ad and is suppose to be funny, but comes across as rather creepy and also patronizing, not sure why the company behind this fake ad would hire a actor so unlikable or even do a ad that  is so fake, I guess they're trying to jump on back to the future bandwagon and make money for thier website by increasing their social media numbers. It's a slap in the face to real fans of the trilogy and has nothing to do with respect to the back to the future movies. It's the last thing that BTTF fans should be looking at, as we countdown to the most important day for the movie franchise. These hoaxes will increase, the only good thing is that after October 21 2015 these hoaxes will stop, because after October 21 2105  there will be no need for these hoaxes, not

October 21 2015: D DAY FOR THE HOVERBOARD

Image
D Day is coming up for the Hoverboard.  That date of course is October 21 2015, the date of course being the day Marty McFly went back to the future and the world first saw a hoverboard. People all around the world,who saw Back to the Future have been wondering if on Ocotber 21 2015, will there be a Hoverboard?  October 21 2015 has been destinated "Future Day" Back to the future celebrations are planned, people will be lining up to buy Pepsi Perfect, Nike might release self tying shoes, but it's the Hoverboard that people are wondering about! But this will all stop after October 21 2015. You see because this date was used in the movie, this is the date that BTTF fans have been waiting for, that futurists have been waiting for, they know that flying cars are just SiFi they know time machines are just a Hollywood fantasy, but hey, Hoverboards are something that CAN be created. But if October 21 2015 passes and there is no Hoverboard, then all the talk for the past decades w

Hoverboards: History of False Hope

Image
The Hoverboard has a history of giving people false hope, about well the hoverboard. It  all started with the first apperance of a Hoverboard where no one knew what a hoverboard was,  in Back to the future 2 and that kicked it off. Then there was the making of the film, where the producers played a prank on the public, saying the Hoverboards were real, but couldnt be made available to the  public for safety concerns. Then there was that odd jackass you meet, that swore they were real and a company was working on them. Years passed, and you had tv channels like Discovery having scientist's  on saying yes there is technology that can make the hoverboard exist. All this false hope, and time passed and you slowly forgot about it, except when Back to the Future 2 aired on tv. Then Mattel played the cruelest hoax of all (F you Scott Neitlich) Taking out a full page ad of Michael J Fox with the hoverboard and the words "Hoverboards They're real and they're Magnificent" O

Say it anit so: The Ups and Downs of Hoping Hoverboard's Exist

Image
(Update: This rollercoaster ride of good and bad  news is driving me insane, here is a message I got from one of the purchases of the Hendo Hoverboard... (Thankyou, I agree totally with that, Its just a matter of' watch this space' and then then the goal is to bring it to the masses in the future. I'm off to the USA for the 21st of October when Hendo have the exclusive Hendo Hoverbaord launch event...... of which I'm sure they have a surprised planned as well :). Also its "Future Day' :) )    End of Message. MY Blog post. Around three hours ago I did a post, and now this sums up what it's been like for people who want a Hoverboard to be available on October 21 2015. The post was full of hope, but once again Hope has been dashed. Yes Hendo Hoverboard are having a launch on October 21 2015, but all it is, is to give the 11 Hoverboards away to the people who donated to their kickstarter campaign. Hendo is what I have read is bascailly a company trying to work

Hendo Hoverboard Launch party October 21 2015

Image
Could this be for real, after decades of Hoaxes, and false hope, could in two weeks time, we finally have Hoverboards? Hendo Hoverboards have an event on October 21 2015, the hoverboard they announced over a year ago, does hover but only on a special magentic floor and it appears it doesnt move much when you stand on it. But its been a year, and Hendo's been very quiet, could October 21 2015, see something special from Hendo that will shock the world??? Will another company come out with a working Hoverboard? Will this be one of the greatest days in Human History or another let down. Fingers are crossed. Time will tell.

FINAL COUNTDOWN: OCTOBER 21 2015: HOVERBOARDS

Image
The Final countdown is on. This is it. In a little over two weeks we will know. Will Hoverboards exist on October 21 2015. Plenty of companies have been working on prototypes. We have Hendo, we have Lexus. We even might have Faux companies, like Huvr. Unfortunely we have also had crap compaines, who are spending millions on PR with Teen pop singers and rappers trying to sell Skateboards as Hoverboards. NOTE: IF IT HAS A WHEEL, IT ANIT A HOVERBOARD. Time has now come, is there another company out there working on one???? You see October 21 2015 is the date to do it. This is the date that the DREAM  of HOVERBOARDS  will either come true or die. This is the connection to back to the Future. Once October 21 2015 passes, no one would want to fund one, the interest, the buildup will be gone. We know we can expect, the Pepsi perfect, maybe self tying shoes from Nike. But it's the Hoverboard dream, that the world is waiting for, Mattel is certainly not going to do it. So will the dream com
