Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Hoverboard Replica Prop is a Must-Have for Back to the Future Fans

— January 9, 2012 — Pop Culture
It's safe to say that most people who watched Back to the Future will drool over the Hoverboard Replica Prop by JGDesignz.

Those who remember Marty McFly running away from Biff's grandson Griff in the second installment of the film will immediately recognize the Hoverboard Replica Prop. JGDesignz recreated the iconic skate deck as it is seen in the original film: constructed from hardwood and laminated graphics. Everything from the Mattel label to the colors are spot-on and it's incredible how much detail has been put into this piece. One can't help but say "Great Scott!" when they lay eyes on this beauty.

This goes without saying, but the Hoverboard is a replica piece and therefore doesn't fly. Who knows, maybe in 2015 everyone will finally own the real deal.
