Hoverboard

The Australian Hoverboard was the star of the Sydney 2000 Olympics used for the opening and closing ceremonies, as used by Kylie Minogue.

16 craft were used at the show of which this is one.

Originally costing 16000 Australian Dollars, they were expensive toys! Especially, as they do not work on water and cannot go up slope with a top speed of 30 mph.

Shown here driven by Jurgen Volle, the German film star.
