I mainly phone post/read and they could have been just in case. Figured it couldn't hurt to double check, seeing as they're called hoverboards and all.

Sure you might get hit by a bus, but consider how nonchalantly you can commit crimes https://amp.twimg.com/v/3f9b2567-d8f1-4fa3-b46d-2037a37bc624 I've watched this like 50 times, it's incredible

The hoverboards also have a habit of bursting into flames http://www.wired.com/2015/12/why-hoverboards-keep-exploding/

Maybe they'll just be like those wheelie shoes ten years ago, nobody wears those now, maybe because everyone who wore them has been killed in annoyance-related justifiable homicides.

A bit late, but how would you know that people mistook this for a drink? Maybe they really did want some floor cleaner.

Millenial hoverrounds are fun to ride and a bit harder than skateboards. Old people hating on them is funny, also dummies falling off them is funny.

The real pleasure is watching people fall over themselves in a rush to tell people how stupid people who use hoverboards/swagways/electric skateboards are.

The most important part is they prove that The Skateboard Kid was in fact a documentary.
