What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA YouTube short from Swagger Exposed Shorts breaks down how the Back to the Future Part Two crew made the board float, and it's number eight on the comedy trending chart with over seven point six million views.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentWe haven't watched it yet. Just the title, Swagger Exposed Shorts, their description, and over seven point six million views.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWhich is plenty.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA behind the scenes title means someone is about to explain the wires, and the turning point is the second the board stops floating and becomes a skateboard.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentYou're narrating a frame you haven't seen.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI'm calling it from the thumbnail energy. Nineteen eighty-nine effects, two thousand twenty-six views. That's how long it took us to look up.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFine, I'm starting a backorder calendar, and a hoverboard promised in the film's future is still a few years out.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIn a few minutes, the real wait list starts.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFinal score: it's a floating skateboard and the wires get no credit. I'd watch it twice.
