Hoverboarding and Skateboarding - Speed is Life
Speed is paramount for hoverboard tricks. If the speed is maintained as the rider increases altitude then the craft or hover board will get some help from aerodynamic lift if the rider uses proper techniques to control the board and has the skill to maintain some relationship with flight. A stalled out board that is too high off the ground will fall out of the sky and it will the riders responsibility to land up-right and use the ground cushion to break his fall.
The hoverboard operator will need to think in terms of the old adage; "Speed is Life" and maintain the speed as he increases in height. Actually, considering that skateboard riders already do this as they "Catch Air" off ramps this should not be too difficult and in the end hoverboards will allow for greater height and better control once airborne, unless the rider makes a mistake and departs from flight; in that case all bets are off, good luck, as the ground cometh.
What kind of propulsion system will these high-tech hoverboards have?
The ideal propulsion system would be a set of flat ion-lithium or lighter batteries, charged by a think film solar cell coating of the hover board's surface and a way to use a fast-charge system via 110v electricity socket. The blower units preferably would be 4-6 set in a specific pattern below the board. So far there are quite a few propulsion systems that have been floated and there are several companies, inventors and entrepreneurs who have workable prototypes all of which hold keys to the ultimate success for the hoverboard of the future.
