Somebody has made a DIY hoverboard and it. Is. Amazing.

Being able to hover is probably one of the coolest things you can do.

I mean Iron Man and Marty McFfly do it.

Now Ryan Craven has proved it’s possible to make your own.

He calls it Mr Hoverboard.

You can create one too if you have a few quid to spend on four leaf blowers, a shower curtain, some tape and an old water ski as a base.

Craven, from Austin, Texas, told Crave how to make your own with bits and bobs from a DIY shop.

Sounds like you have to be pretty skilled to put it together though.

Craven said: ‘A skirt fills with air that is released below from strategically placed holes that create a small pocket between Mr Hoverboard and the ground.

The skirt alterations were one of the biggest steps I had to keep repeating as there’s infinite combinations when trying to achieve proper circulation and balance.’

Well, there’s a challenge for the new year.
