		If we try to stick with physics, we should conclude Marty and Griff's buddies were wasting time trying to accelerate the hoverboards by pushing the air with their legs.
		Even if the hoverboard goes gain some acceleration forward from such a push, it must gain the same acceleration backward when the rider moves his leg forward to make another push.
		Hoverboards are impossible anyway, we are just asked to believe they are possible because they look cool and are a significant story element.

	How it Works!
		The hoverboard allows one to hover a couple of feet above the ground only because of its reaction with the energy found within the surface of the earth itself.
		Along with the use of the hovermagnetic "electromagnets" underneath the hoverboard, it enables the board to propel and stay propelled above the ground indefinitely.
		The hoverboard's principle is not really to escape the Earth attraction.
