Man, kids these days. :) You've got someone doing tricks on a floating board!

Of course, it's not going to be a product, but the actual board and park are the stuff of childhood dreams.

I agree. Pshaw. How nice of Lexus to build a skatepark in Spain.

I do wonder why they didn't put down two metal tracks a couple inches apart in order to make the thing ride-able.

Same reason this video was shot, I guess. Because lateral stability was just too boring.

I'd bet if they did two tracks it'd ruin the "cool skateboard look," and considering native ad stunts like these are 95% appearance, 5% substance, they'd prefer something that looks good as opposed to works well.

As per usual, my thoughts turned to physics.
