12973251, I've only seen black folks on so called "hover boards" Posted by 81 DUN, Sat Feb-13-16 02:19 PM
Has any one else noticed this? Or is just where I'm from.

12973254, ive only seen black kids under 25 with em Posted by veritas, Sat Feb-13-16 02:22 PM
Probably younger than that. Early 20s is hard to guess.

12973256, i saw white kids on them in SF. Posted by SoWhat, Sat Feb-13-16 02:25 PM
i was introduced to hover boards by Chris Brown - so now i assume anyone riding one is a massive jerk.

>i was introduced to hover boards by Chris Brown - so now i >assume anyone riding one is a massive jerk. > I haven't seen much of them around. But the one I saw was by a preppy white kid. I wanted to stick my foot out Bugs Bunny style to see what would happen...lol

12973270, The Hoverboard Hype sure has died since Xmas Posted by ry 213, Sat Feb-13-16 03:28 PM
You would see people posting with them on Instagram all the time last year but hardly ever see it now...

12974225, Chinese Battery explosion videos went viral Posted by Riot, Mon Feb-15-16 07:11 PM
Then amazon pulled the plug on them
Then mark Cuban, the company making those kick push razer scooters, and I think somebody else aLL claim to own the official patent and gonna cease&desist all the other 'knockoffs'
Then a few cities in multiple countries banned them in public
They still out there tho.
Segway copied the design but with bigger wheels; if somebody can lock down the quality control issues to fix the battery fire problem, theyLL take over
|
12974308, segway made their own hoverboard?? Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Mon Feb-15-16 09:22 PM
i thought they pretty much stuck to that original design with the handles and what not

12974502, EVERY pre-2000 Buick or Pontiac is driven by black folks Posted by flipnile, Tue Feb-16-16 10:09 AM
#Fact
They must ship those jawns straight to the hood for used car sales. Also, there's a ~90% chance of there being dolls, flowers or fitted caps in the back window.
