Airboard - the Personal Hovercraft

[thatappreviewerguy]

i have one of these and its a chinese piece of crap

[SdkCompositions]

My hovercraft is full of eels.

[slackandswinging]

@SdkCompositions Mine has spider-mites whose saliva dulls the once shiny fibreglass appearance of my hover-ride .

[SaviourSole]

Wait... it's a prototype.  How can they say "THEY retail for around $15,000"?

[DrCinebrivido]

if it doesn't travel across water it ISN'T an hovercraft

[RCllamadude]

@DrCinebrivido not true. many hovercrafts run on land but not water. the point of a hovercraft is to allow more speed per kilogram of static thrust by almost eliminating friction with the ground. just because it does not run on water does not mean it isn't a hovercraft. get your facts straight before you criticize something.

[hppybob]

It had better be full of eels.

[Aamonath]

It kinda sucks right now, but once this thing gets downsized and improved (and becomes affordable) it will be one of the most kickass things ever!

[legolover2000]

Thi sucks, the only reason i WANT a hovercraft for myself is TO GO over land to water to land

[Skoda130]

A "5 litre engine"? I think they meant a "5 litre fuel tank"? 

[Bleedingpsycho]

u can go over mines with that :D

[Jonassoe]

Oh well, as long as you get that hoverboard ready for 2015.

[TRIPNnuttzNfcknBUTTZ]

well i guess there is still new things that kick ass and come out of liverpool :P

[LeafBlade100]

for those things...leave it up for the Chinese people

[lsilver6]

I would rather ride a go-ped

[trashcanalive]

This has got Casualty Department written all over it.

[nibbler125]

more like bullshit machine

[riesen12399]

i do not tkink it has a 5-litre engine, beacuse a ferrari have a 5-litre engine, but maybe it has a 5-litre fuel tank 1:04

[Stephenplaysmusic]

@riesen12399 its a mower engine, they run pretty big.

[xGLAVONJAx]

so it's not a hovercraft then !

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

No brakes? Sounds safe to me! :D

[RideZG]

Ive seen many videos of people that make these out of 50 dollar vacumm cleaner engines they pick up at a local thrift shop. I would rather make one then buy one that retails for 15,000 dollars. 

[8wheelsbootingfruit]

so this.. or a segway?

[Sharkhead7855]

@8wheelsbootingfruit Segway, no contest brother.

[dudelivestrong]

not worth 15,000, make one in ur back yard lmfao!

[joshpit2003]

@0:13 I can't understand why you would put this in a video. It just shows how 'chunky" the driving can be since there is a wheel contacting the ground. I was under the impression that hover-crafts are supposed to be like "riding on a cloud" this looks more like "riding on gravel".

[kzawy]

thats pretty gay

[ceuz20]

what is the website?



[FluffMuncher]

I could build one of those for like $200 or so.. all u need is a leaf blower, whipper snipper n some fiberglass ;)

$15k is stupid money for this..

[TheRealYoungCam]

That Looks Preety Boring

[UncivilizedMonkeys]

Hovercraft? Slide craft.....

[MIKETPRODUCTIONS]

looks like fun.... but WILL IT BLEND?

[MisterJakeMichael]

First the Beatles now this. Liverpool keeps getting grearer.

[UBERKron]

five liter engine? half litre? 5 horse. what size do you need to do this?

[philtripe]

looks cheap flimsy and really like no fun at all

[Kiddolioable]

@philtripe lol you're probably one of those who sit in house and read books all day long.

[mikimomo97]

:D WELCOME TO ENGLAND!!!

[GanjaGrowers]

someone should send this video to failblog

[mikimomo97]

@GanjaGrowers ON IT

[12StreetDrifter]

waste of money, and gas

[prnkstr]

Where is the hover skateboard that back to the future promised us? Matel, I'm looking at you...

[InfiniteRhombus]

lots of people have done it before, actually.

[Wiccelyn]

o.O No Brakes How Do You Stop??!

[KaarlisStruuve]

there's showen that she is tied up with the hoverboard..

that means if you fall down it will pull you all the way to water and then u drown :D!!!

[TheSurfboarder]

looks like a zambonie

[iugey]

a 15,000 dollar hovercraft that can't go on water, whats the point?

[niignastii]

lol its like skateboarding or skiing really ? never seen a skateboard cost 15k?

[andrehamburg]

I want my time back, this is lame

[aidan21]

looks crap, does 20 = shite....

[TomMan03]

it works on water i know,because the cusion of air cant sink

[bltoliver13]

@TomMan03 How do you expect to turn

[bontakt]

pps try turning down the groovy 'music for a modern lifestyle' and play the music to benny hill instead.

[bontakt]

ps. if you had said ' this is a stupid invention which is very much like riding a lawnmower around a car park' that would be ok. by comparing it to surfing and snowboarding you have made me extremely angry. you are either lying through your teeth, completely insane, or exceptionally unintelligent. or perhaps all three, david ?

[bontakt]

possibly the most ridiculous waste of time and money i have ever had the misfortune to loose 1.43 minutes watching. 'just like snowboarding' ! just like riding a lawnmower around a car park. congratulations david.

[RCvehicleGuy]

that looks like something to fall off of and break your tail bone

[bontakt]

its NOT like ski-ing, surfing, or snowboarding david. its like standing on a lawnmower. and feeling like a total buffoon.

[WildmanBorneo]

5-litre engine.........?.......Must go like fuck

[vibemunster]

@WildmanBorneo thats not a five litre motor!!!! 0.5 maybe

[vibemunster]

@WildmanBorneo thats not a five litre motor!!!! 0.5 maybe, remember you're dealing with scouser's ere

[restinpridenotorious]

when does it start to hover

[hugocb1909]

price?

[skatesnowboy]

This is useless because 5 litres of fuel for 1 hour polutes alot. I bet you any money that the plastic pop with any sharp object and it is very dangerouse(no brakes?? WTF). He also says that it will run on any surface except water(only solid and water are the only surfaces :S WTF). AND it is way to expensive for a piece of unusefull junk that you will probably use once, and i can imagine it being banned from any public place because of it having no brakes. BUT it is fun for your 4 year old :)

[EPzti]

@skatesnowboy it said it had 5 liter engine not fuel tank even though it doesn't, that's bigger than most car and truck engines and breaks=leaning back just like the segway AND the other surfaces are sand grass concrete and it could go on water even though the video says it cant do you even think before you type

[DevilMaster]

Overpriced, overengineered and underperforming. That's really something.

[KanokonX]

dude it is expensive as hell ,it's not really that fast plus it cant go on water Anyone that bought this really should have got a segway although the segway is a stupid invention anyways

[mooncristalpower]

Lmfao too much money.

[2TPENNY]

England gets some great stuff like foe ex that and the Beatles

[dustinby15]

$15,000 fuck that

[themaniusedtob]

the yike is more worth it

[mapleleaf123456789]

15000 for a balloon with a wheel in it....

[tehKap0w]

WANT!!1!

[awiseguy86]

aw man when are they going to have real hoverboards like in back to the future, I'd rather have a hover round or segway then this shit

[nibbler125]

you can buy a real hovercraft for less than that

[GRAFFDEMON]

Might want to invest in a kill-switch for stopping power

[WESMOKEFATBLUNTS]

what a waste of time, money, and effort :3

[jaivenmsn]

Lame pile of junk like most things British.

[kohkeng]

Thumbs up if you want to see a fat person standing on this airboard.

[QuiksilveRXx24]

this shit isnt a airboard, it's a groundboard.

[TripleX2go]

$15k that was 2 years ago,but I don't anyone with it.I wonder why?

[bahamudfly]

no breaks holy crap xD

[lforst460]

id rather ride around in a moped

[EBAYME31]

Touches the ground the whole time

[kikosantaiscoming]

wow it only goes about 1 cm off

[hestheman929]

I always wanted a segway, but I want to look like an even bigger cunt. This is perfect!

Seriously though, anything but water? So basically....land.

[Guitar101Dude]

Can be used on any surface..."YES!" Exept water..."WTH!"

[activenon]

LOL ANY SURFACE BUT WATER. YEAH RIGHT....

[Funkystumpy247]

5L engine!? ... I don't believe that for a second! I think they meant 0.5 :/

[sweetbilly]

That thing needs a dual turbo V8 to function correctly...

[d00m0racl3]

@pyroboy08 carer to share? if interrersted leave a comment on my channel plz. I've got a good proposition that might interest you.

[adecker119]

@pyroboy08 Not trying to be a smart ass but lets see i!! That sounds really cool and I'd like to see one go on water for sure!

[pyroboy08]

@adecker119 well, Im glorifying what is really just a full sheet of plywood with a plastic bag under with holes cut in it and three leaf blowers, I was simply try to state that you don't to spend lots of money on something like this, but I had my fun with it and threw it away, I think I still have a quarter sheet hovercraft somewhere, I made a video about that one, it was better because it had a propelling engine where the big one did not.

[bonibonyrrk]

@pyroboy08 would you build me one too if i give you 400$

[pyroboy08]

@bonibonyrrk its a simple project, plywood and 3 blowers and a weedwhacker to propel it, although if I had the resources I would build one with a finger skirt and a good sized four-stroke engine to propel it. The weedwhacker ran like shit with the 2 foot prop but a $130 6.5hp engine from harbor freight would do it justice.

[TehMul3sta]

@pyroboy08 you should put up a video of it

[pyroboy08]

@TehMul3sta I threw it away, it was taking up a lot of room in my garage, so I ditched it and kept the engines, and expensive parts,it would be easy and cheap to rebuild it though. I had my fun and I have moved on to other projects

[zeno711]

@pyroboy08 can u put it up on youtube? or have you?

[pyroboy08]

@zeno711 I had my fun then threw it away and kept the engine to make space for more projects.

[SH4D0SKU11]

@pyroboy08 Sure ya did "Pyro" boy

[irish69man]

@pyroboy08 how i would like to know lol

[oldford71]

@pyroboy08 post a vid..would love to see it ..:)

[finktube]

Looks like fun, but it's not really a hovercraft. It doesn't go over water as the forward motion comes from a wheel in contact with the ground. It's basically a motorised unicycle with an air cushion stabiliser. The pod at the back has intakes and exhaust for the engine only, not for thrust. But, as I said, looks like fun.

[beasst94]

@finktube where do u see a wheel?

[VerendumProductions]

@finktube You bozo! Hovercraft don't wor on water! Unless you've got POWER!

[Sharkhead7855]

@finktube A wheel? That's... horribly disappointing. As you said that's not even a hovercraft.

[Nabo00o]

@finktube

That was really disappointing! That's bs right there!

[mikemcmo]

It has a 5 liter engine, like a full sized pickup truck, or a sports car? Maybe you mean it has a .5 liter engine. Or maybe a .5 liter gas tank...

[DKB778]

i bet i can do a 3 stair with it

[MonteLSV6]

Doesn't seem very stable.

[AnotherGlenn]

HAHAHAHAHA!

[DevilMaster]

How the FUCK can it be so overpriced?

[kickazzkid]

No brakes? piece of crap. also except water??? WOW! thats great.

[jamesdluv]

about as useful as a cock in a nunnery

[DRUMSTUDDZ]

$15K ? not worth it since it cant even hover over water.. i thought this was cool..

just another way to avoid walking.. if you hate'n on this comment maybe because your FAT and lazy.. or you got nothing to do..

[wolfsrain91]

yeah and one sharp rock and oop $1000 repair

[waitwhatwasthat]

McFly you bozo, those boards don't work on water! You have to have POWER!

[grabany]

I am the only one who bought 15 second hand Airboards and made my own Hoverland, the only place where you may feel the floating sensation live.

Telling you the truth, it is very fun and everybody like them, from 6 to 70 years old.

Its not gay at all and everybody is happy.

I have a real Hovercraft from Neoteric but those Airboards are more fun if you use them in a dedicated area like Hoverland.

You may found out more here: hoverland.ro

or on YouTube if you search Hoverland.

[speedmasterx19]

three letters g.a. and y.

[w1ldyovvnz]

the only reason i would buy something like that is to go on water...and you cant go on water...

[redeye100100]

Dumb, it looks like it runs on that frekin blob on the bottom lol

[dakotaskatess]

gay shit the reason why nones doing it cuz its gay

[blackcheetor]

it can travel on all surfaces...except water....hmmm how many surfaces are there?...hmm...there's the solid land...aand there's water OMFG it can travel on land !!!FKING AMAZING!!!...buy a scooter and a boat...much cheaper.

[konstantinNeo]

I would comment on this topic but I when to see Insane Chair Balancing instead O_0

[HeadShot360IN]

not a hovercraft... it's an inflatable blob... worse than my sex toy

[MildonLanhorn]

those segways essentially do the same thing, only better, longer, smoother, quieter, cheaper... wow, well that's everything that matters. Stupid invention here, sorry to say

[Beemerboy324]

I know what it said but there is no way that this could have a five-litre engine. Five horsepower, maybe.

[r3b000t]

FAIL

[Marcus538]

$15000 and in UK it is probably illegal to use it any where, and if it wasn't the police would "do" you any way for something, typical uk flash expensive and uselss

[pipotinototo]

give me a piece of wood, some plastic wrap, and 2 leaf blowers and i can make you a hoverboard. if yo want the steering shit i can strap on a metal rod. LOL

[globe255]

Thats not much technic. Its kind of disappointing.

[thiagotecnico]

GIANT VACUUM CLEANER

[GwandJp]

I could make one for about $200

[pazza1010]

wat a useless invention....lol "its just like snowboarding or skating, but no body has tried it"...THATS CAUS ITS SHIT...i like to see u ride one of them down a mountain xD and $15,000!!!!! I could by a road bike for that price

[117gotmilk]

fake hovercraft $15000. some plastic wrap a round peice of plywood and a couple of leaf blowers. priceless

[ploscice]

watch braniac and get it for 10$ asshole

[TheCalorieMate]

NO BRAKES WHAT IS THIS.

[NoinaGirls]

you forgot to mention this after you said that it was $15,000:

"But it can be yours for only $19.95! And, as a free bonus gift, we'll include the Shamwow! free! Just pay shipping and handling."

[92benno92]

Excuse my ignorant but .. isn't a hovercraft meant to go on water? Okay concept but not very practical.

[marcoze]

wow that thing honestly looks and performs like a high school tech class built it

[oohdirkadirka]

lol that thing sucks XD

[MsPaleMoon]

Because spinning uncontrollably on a 7000.00 piece of fiberglass is the new"Snow Boarding"

[MsPaleMoon]

@hugobossdb LOL,well said:-D

[Deeelon9]

ladies and gentleman, its ganna be a bumpy ride...if u buy that thing

[canonguys]

how do you stop?

[cimicianga]

ma e' bellissimo sta'ggeggio

[TheRealEMURSE]

I want to see it on water

[gilbertmigs]

doesnt look like a board to me

[SunBreaker6]

that sucks... it can go on only for one hour with full tank? That is the lamest thing I ever heard.

[john0donavan0ritter]

A good brake would be if you let out the air out the top or side trough a closable hole

[EdIsSuperman]

what the hell, this is english, yet it has the price in dolars, i wanna know how much it is. IN POUNDS!

[mattharthello]

gay as fuck

[Cyonyst]

this is such a waste of time money and technology, no one is gonna ride one of this down a sidewalk, and trying to stop it from going into the middle of the street will be challenging. have fun dying on one of these new death traps.

[CropJ]

garbage...

[ninetyfive300zx]

it needs to go 120mph for me to buy that,15 k that would take me 6 months of hard work and not paying any bills lol

[BigManlyMan4]

why the fuck would anyone spend 15000 for that? it goes on any surface but water....what else does that? a dirt bike, fourwheeler, offroad truck. Those are much cheaper too. I dont see the point. ahahahahhaa.

[licmyloly]

@BigManlyMan4 well this probibly dosent cause as much as polutin as a dirt bike

[BigManlyMan4]

@licmyloly Uh no. That has a 5 liter engine. A bit bigger than a dirt bike. Im sure its worse. Its way overpriced.

[Fade0123]

That is awesome!

[KidsWithGuns1992]

nopt really a hovercraft, it doesnt fucking hover

[princeivan4]

well what do you expect its got holes on the bottom of itit aint going in any water

[PimpXXXGuitarist]

Any surface but water? WTF!?!? That dosn't even make since... What other surfaces are there other than a solid surface???

[Rakka2007]

@PimpXXXGuitarist Pffftt .... upside down DUH ... lol

why would anyone waste money on this? can't hover across water ...

[cr1tterp0wer]

lame- this hoovercraft is obvious troll

[jeansl10]

@PimpXXXGuitarist

well grass, metal, wood, dirt, concrete, etc

[PimpXXXGuitarist]

@jeansl10 Yeah, all solid surfaces... What's the point? I can take my grandma's motor scooter in more places than that $15K P.O.S.

[jeansl10]

@PimpXXXGuitarist

yeah i know its pretty pointless... still it must be fun!

[PimpXXXGuitarist]

@jeansl10 Not at fun as grandma's scooter though.... and it dosen't cost more than a honda...

[ccool2ax]

@PimpXXXGuitarist dirt, mud, concrete, carpet, grass, gravel...

[PimpXXXGuitarist]

@ccool2ax uhhh... solid, solid, solid, solid, solid, and uhhhh solid...

[xenopeltismulticolor]

@PimpXXXGuitarist as in

cement, grass, dirt, asphalt ect

[yowzas07]

@PimpXXXGuitarist

cause everyone knows hoverboards don't work on water.

[mikeot85]

@yowzas07 unless you got power!!

[VladKiller006]

Stupid it cant go on water.

[giggles628000000]

15000?! screw that i could make my own

[pragmaticus123]

@giggles628000000

Hah, hah...that's true!!!! I saw advertisements for kits for something like this in Boy's Life magazine back in the seventies!!! They were do it yourself, plans. This isn't hugely new.
