OK, is this a really good fake or have they done the impossible.

How do they do it?

What is next the gerator?

Fake. Speculation is a promo for a new back to the future movie.

It's a really good fake though...

Why did everyone on the board look like they were being supported by their armpits?

Obviously, fake.

Everyone has a slight bulge over their shoulders, behind their neck. Also, notice the difference in the clothing when they are interviewed an when they are on the board--it's bulkier around the back of the neck when they are on the board and, in a few shots, you can see some harness type clothing around the shoulder/neck--look at Terrell Owens, especially, School Boy Q, and the actress--they all look like the have linebacker shoulder pads on when riding the board, but are thin shouldered when interviewed.

Lots of quick cuts, moving/jumping camera, a bit of CGI, and voila, a hoverboard.
