Old School Hoverboard

And by old school we mean positively prehistoric. This is Crushrock’s Hoverboard, from builder Adam Dodge. I’m assuming this is for the LEGO Ideas Flintstone’s Contest that’s currently running. From the description…

"Take a slow cruise around Bedrock with Crushrock's Hoverboard. Ease your aching toes after peddling around town al day, and let the breeze waft past you while you take in the sights. Ride confidently above the cobblestones at our two safe speeds: slow, and really slow! “

Yabba Dabba Do!

Micro builds like this make me so happy. With just a handful of parts builder Everblack not only built an instantly recognizable scene, he transported me to any given Saturday morning of my childhood. Yes the Flintstones was originally created as a primetime show, with a decidedly adult audience in mind (it’s modeled after the Honeymooners after all) but when it’s good storytelling done with tongue firmly inserted in cheek, kids will watch too. And boy did we.
