hoverboarding
Gliding without wheels
Hoverboarding is riding a hoverboard—a self-balancing electric scooter with two wheels side by side.
The rider stands on a platform between the wheels and shifts body weight to steer: She spent the afternoon hoverboarding around the neighborhood.
Despite the name, hoverboards don't actually hover; they roll on wheels.
