The 30th anniversary of Back to the Future should have this invention completed

Hey I've built this before and i want to improve on it could i use flexible pipe to connect the blower and the board? if i built this smaller 1 by 2 feet what would the measurements be for the grommet? What leaf blower would you recommend i want one below $150 and i want can blow at around 190mph? What is another way i can keep air from escaping from the board?How many holes should be in the bottom? Finally how could i make the board be able to work on asphalt??? Please anyone respond fast!

Can you send me some step by steps with measurements? I wanna make one of these for my brother and myself.

I collect them because when I was younger I was helping my dad do yardwork, had a leafblower on my back sitting under a eucalyptus tree and my dad yelled look out as there was a big limb cracking so I layed on my stomach and the limb hit the blower, went to the hospital and the DR said that blower saved my life because a sharp piece of the limb would have punctured me instead of the blower. It was the first time I used it and I was convinced an angel put that blower on my back that fateful day.

Why the hell would you collect leaf blowers?

[Jeremy DeCaro]

I used to collect leaf blowers as a child and have never found a use for my collection other than polish them and admire their beauty. After seeing this I will build a hoverboard using my most powerful 10 leaf blowers and be the first man to travel OVER...wait for it.........500 MPH on a hoverboard! MPH stands for miles per hour, yeah, you heard right.

I subscribed in the first 7 seconds
