Looks awesome! One thing we found out, is that the mata does *not* float over water.. it sinks like a rock.
Fixing that, and making the hoverboard a water skimmer would be a nice addition. And maybe add "roll" like they have in the spaceships, for stunts...

Thanks for the Compliment on the board, To be honest that is a Work in Progress Pic. Its actualy not done yet
Interesting info about it sinking. ( looks at Jb) Can we do that ? LOL
For the Stunts I was thinking that we could do custom animations that would mock Skateboarders tricks from a 1/2 pipe ramp. Be it that i did quite a bit of that in my younger days, I think i can remember a few of the Moves

LOL, Marty McFly couldn't use his hoverboard above water either...

Oh no... Tony Hawk plus Chaos... this sounds like it could get really ugly: Backflip 540 Stalefish Headshot

For the hoverboard skimming on water, just put an invisible blocking volume in the bottom. Boom, floating hoverboard.

That would stop people from diving, wouldn't it? Plus the hoverboard would not work with any older maps...

Currently the manta will not hover over water as well. So we will have to figure out a way around it..

The manta doesn't go over water???
Is this an oversight by epic, or a concious decision for gameplay/balance issues?
Either way, if anyone from Epic or DE happens to be reading this, how about a "Hovercraft float over water" checkbox under the maps gameplay settings option in the next patch?

If you read the description, it said that it was designed for marsh/swamp combat.

Why wouldn't it? The blocking volume would just stop things from going into water/lava etc. Therefore if you stick one on the underside of the hoverboard it would float over anything called water or lava in a map. Should work fine.
It might stop people from diving but it's supposed to be a hoverboard, right? Not a submarine :p

Technically, wouldn't it float over everything else too?
