A Filipino now holds the world record for the longest distance traveled on a hoverboard.
Aboard his hoverboard which was made in collaboration with an Australian firm, Kyxz Mendiola traveled a distance of 2,894 meters, erasing the previous record of only 2,352.
Aside from the hoverboard, Mendiola has also built a flying car.
But Mendiola was not an inventor or an engineer, in fact, he was a dancer and once a member of the Philippine All-Stars.
According to Mendiola, from being a dancer he got into filmmaking and from there he became interested in drones.
Now, Mendiola plans to mass-produce the hoverboard and flying car with the help of the technology firm he is partnering with.
“Andun na sa point na people think I was crazy,” he said in an interview.
