Lexus, Slide



CHI unveils latest in the Lexus ‘Amazing in Motion’ series - giving Marty McFly a run for his money

Following a teaser campaign that generated international press coverage and millions of online views, Lexus has unveiled their real-life hoverboard. Shot by Smuggler’s Henry-Alex Rubin the skateboard that floats was created with a combination of liquid nitrogen and a magnetic field.

The new ad, ‘Slide,’ features champion skateboarder Ross McGouran, attempting to keep his balance on a customised skate park, complete with unique jumps, ramps, bowls, and even a water feature for the hoverboard to glide over.
