    Article from TMZ



    "Check out this video that shows a man in a helmet literally flying through the air near ground level along what appears to be an urban area ... complete with stoplights, apartment buildings, restaurants and even cars that are zooming by the opposite way."
    "McCoy is the guy that's zooming around some city streets on a hoverboard.
    "The company called Omni Hoverboards manufactures this modern marvel of technology ... selling for upwards of $20k."
    "There's not a firm price tag on this thing just yet, and it's not even available to the public just yet. Experts say it could retail between $10k-$20k ... and as far as a launch date, seems like they're close. We'll see what Uncle Sam has to say about that, though."

    If "gov'ment" looks anything like your profile picture, it can require ANYTHING it wants.

    So, it basically looks like a big drone. Wonder what the hang time is on that thing?

    Will they make one for portly fliers who need two seats? Probably will require more Diehard batteries for the extra lift.

    i can assure you that...

    1) that's NOT me in my profile/avatar

    2) i AM WAY older

    3) i AM a male, but only on days that end in "Y".......

    4) i HAVE tried on a bikini like that, and my Mrs, had a stroke laughing so hard.

    that picture is of a beauty, actress Scarlett Johansson.
