Sorry to burst your high-flying dreams, but Funny or Die seems to be behind HUVr, the mysterious tech company claiming to have invented the first hoverboard. The costume designer who worked on the shoot posted pics of the experience on her online resume, which has now been removed. The clip from HUVr’s YouTube channel, which has nearly 9 million hits, appeared online Tuesday. It claims to show off a real-life version of Back To The Future II‘s fictional hoverboard. The video features a slew of high-flying celebrity endorsers, including Christopher Lloyd, Tony Hawk and Moby. The company’s website claims its team consists of “materials science, electricity & magnetism experts who’ve solved an important part of one of science’s mysteries: the key to antigravity.” Despite the impressive (fake) viral campaign, the only place you’ll find hoverboards for now is in this clip – or your dreams.
