Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Do you want to travel on a hoverboard? It’s easy… all you have to do is stand there and move your feet! The hoverboard moves by itself. Hoverboards are a new trend. However, there are some valid concerns. Hoverboards can explode if they overheat. They are also on the No Fly List, so you can’t take them on an airplane. Maybe, hoverboards are a little too futuristic.

I wouldn’t like to ride a hoverboard, I think is dangerous, and I don’t have the skill.  


I have seen “Back to the future” and the protagonist has the skill.

I  wouldn´t like to smash my head on the floor. I have seen videos of people ridiculousy loosing the balance and hitting the floor. I prefer public transportation or otherwise walking. They were much in use for employees to get around in public offices .Very convenient if you have to deliver correspondence in large compounds.
