Man Sighted Flying Through City on Giant Drone – Futurism

It's like a real life Green Goblin.City Hoverboard

The hoverboard from Back to the Future II is finally here.

But its a lot less inconspicuous than a sleek 80s era skateboard that just happens to defy gravity and a lot more like the Green Goblin from the Spiderman franchise.

In a new viral video captioned this man is living in 2030, a person can be seen zipping along a public road, riding on top of what looks like a high-powered drone with eight propellers.

Its likely the stunt broke several laws, but at least the drone rider decided to wear a helmet.

As it turns out, the video isnt some CGI trickery. The amazing flying contraption is sold by a company called Omni Hoverboards and likely costs upwards of $20,000, as TMZ points out. Its unlikely,though, that youll be able to get your hands on one any time soon.

Several videos online show what the drone hoverboard is capable of. One video shows a man soaring above the tree line over the top of a country-side pond.

According to the companys website, its the first real hoverboard. Its inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru broke the world record for the longest hoverboard flight with it, some 905 feet, back in 2015, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
