Speaker 9: 22:14 Yes.
Alexander: 22:24 And
the fact that it's quite easy to remove with this thing that goes from all the
way off to the other corner.
Speaker 10: 22:40 Do

Alexander: 22:41 No,
I'm okay.
Speaker 10: 22:43 Okay.

Speaker 11: 22:46 Can

Alexander: 22:46 Mm-hmm

Speaker 11: 22:46 That's

Alexander: 22:46 It's
actually a snowsuit for skiing.
Speaker 11: 22:59 Oh,
and you have pockets.
Alexander: 23:02 No,
I don't like them.
Speaker 11: 23:04 Why
are you figuring out?
Alexander: 23:07 [foreign
language 00:23:07]. Is there wind outside so I can?
Speaker 11: 23:17 Is
this Halloween?
Speaker 13: 25:28 [foreign
language 00:25:28].
Alexander: 25:28 You
have bigger ones? Those are pretty big.
Speaker 14: 25:28 Do
we have any bigger ones? Do we have bigger ones?
Speaker 15: 25:28 No,
I think we have the biggest ones.
Alexander: 25:28 Really?
Speaker 14: 26:30 [inaudible
00:26:30]. Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 15: 26:41 [inaudible
00:26:41] or while it's raining.
Speaker 14: 26:53 [inaudible
00:26:53].
Speaker 16: 26:53 Yes,
sir!
Alexander: 27:43 [foreign
language 00:27:43].
Alexander: 27:43 All
right, are we doing that again?
Speaker 16: 29:23 [foreign
language 00:29:23]. I think I do.
Speaker 7: 29:23 Oh,
so I thought you were like [inaudible 00:29:28].
Alexander: 29:23 No,
I did understand. Let me guide you. But this time, the more-
Speaker 17: 31:30 [foreign
language 00:31:30].
Alexander: 38:33 Hold
on, I'm now ready, sorry. I just need to fine tune something here, Vanessa.
Vanessa: 38:38 Sorry?
Alexander: 38:41 Hold
on a second. Okay, I'm ready, go ahead.
Speaker 11: 38:43 Hold
on. They're still working. Okay, let's go.
Alexander: 38:45 I
see you. Okay, it's fine, Vanessa.
Vanessa: 38:51 [inaudible
00:38:51].
Alexander: 38:54 Now,
you can go.
Speaker 11: 38:54 No,
we can go, let's go. We are go.
Vanessa: 38:55 So
what was it like when you first tried it? The very first time you went on it?
Alexander: 38:55 Well,
that was a great experience. How can I say? It was-
Vanessa: 38:55 That's
great, so tell me that one again and start, "The first time I ever went on
the hover board, it was a great experience."
Alexander: 39:13 Okay.
Oh, the first time I went on the hover board was an amazing experience. It was
probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Well, first of all, we
worked a lot to get there and then when we finally got it, it was all working,
well, it was just extraordinary.
Alexander: 39:35 It
was like a bit like a dream. You were like, "Oh my God, I'm flying, I
can't believe that. I used to do that only in my dreams." So I was like oh
my God, that was really a great experience, yeah.
Vanessa: 39:46 That's
awesome, that's so crazy. So how long was this idea floating around in your
head? Like, it seems like something that you're obviously very into?
Alexander: 39:57 Well,
it hanged out in my head for probably the last five years. And the first models
that we tried, we tried with a couple of motors attached to your feet. And it
didn't seem like quite right, we had some problems. But in the end, we just
didn't give up and we ended up making it work. So yeah, that's what it is.
Vanessa: 40:19 Cool,
that's very cool.
Speaker 11: 40:22 Vanessa,
I need to change battery, Vanessa. Hold on a second.
Vanessa: 40:26 Do
that again?
Alexander: 40:30 They
need to change the batteries, they're going to film again, right? Hold on.
Vanessa: 40:35 Okay.
Speaker 11: 40:35 It's
working well.
Alexander: 40:41 Okay,
perfect, let's keep going.
Speaker 11: 40:43 Okay,
go ahead. Let's go.
Vanessa: 40:43 Okay,
so what does it feel like to be on it? What do you feel like?
Alexander: 40:54 Well,
it felt like a dream. Yeah, it felt like oh my God, I have a new ability, I can
fly. Hi, my name is Alexander Durou, and I invented a new type of hover board.
Propeller based hover board, goes higher.
Speaker 11: 41:07 No,
no. It doesn't work.
Alexander: 41:08 No,
I watch this.
Speaker 11: 41:10 Yeah,
and I know they're going to see it and stop it.
Alexander: 41:12 Okay.
Just very tight and short. Yeah.
Speaker 11: 41:13 Yeah,
you know it was short.
Alexander: 41:15 Let's
go, let's go.
Speaker 11: 41:15 Because
I don't see the other, I just sit behind, okay?
Alexander: 41:18 Okay.
Speaker 11: 41:18 Again.
Alexander: 41:21 Hi,
my name is Alexander Durou, and I invented a new type of hover board. Propeller
based hover board, goes higher, faster, further than any hover board has done before.
Vanessa: 41:33 Great,
that was a really good one!
Alexander: 41:37 Yeah,
we have two good one, I think.
Vanessa: 41:37 That
was a good one, yeah, I loved it. Okay, sounds good, so we're good.
Alexander: 42:49 Well,
so I got like lots of these guys to do.
Speaker 19: 42:53 Oh,
do you really?
Alexander: 42:53 Yeah.
Speaker 19: 42:54 I
literally have a 12 year old nephew who does this as his hobby. He's just
surfer boards all the time.
Alexander: 42:59 Well,
for sure he can buzz by and help something. Woo! It's gone, let's drink. I'll
bring some... Here.
Speaker 19: 43:01 Thank
you.
Alexander: 43:31 And
cheers! Cheers.
Speaker 20: 43:39 [foreign
language 00:43:39].
Alexander: 43:43 Well,
yeah. [foreign language 00:43:43].
Victoria: 45:31 Oh
my gosh, it's so McFly-ish.
Alexander: 45:32 Well,
yeah. Well, this had to be done, right? I mean it's 2015, it had to be here.
Victoria: 45:38 How
long did you work on this?
Alexander: 45:40 This
particular prototype took about one year and a half to make, like I was really
working seriously on it. This is an idea that chilled in my head for a while.
Burned my lid.
Victoria: 45:50 Yeah.
Okay, bye-bye.
Alexander: 45:50 Bye.
Victoria: 45:50 Thank
you so much, that was wonderful. Hope to see you soon. I'm excited what else
you're going to do. I'm sure there's lots.
Alexander: 46:00 Okay.
Speaker 22: 46:00 Who
was that, Victoria? Here you go.
Alexander: 46:00 Like.
Victoria: 46:00 We'll
work on this.
Alexander: 46:00 Yeah.
Victoria: 46:26 All
right, now we're going to go to Jeff who's outside in the car. I don't want to
ruin this.
Alexander: 46:27 No,
it's okay. Well, the idea first came-
Speaker 23: 46:52 [foreign
language 00:46:52].
Speaker 24: 50:29 I'm
Franky Zapata, today I will try to break the record for the fastest flyer by
hover board with my flight board here. I have to fly 280 metres to break the
record. It's a jet powered board, with four engine that I control with my
finger. It's cool technology. I'm a little bit stressed. [inaudible 00:52:12]
just working since about four, five weeks. I have thousand reason that
something can fail.
Speaker 24: 52:18 I'm
so happy for my sponsor, my partner from my city, from my country and so we are
very, very happy.
Speaker 25: 52:47 Phenomenal,
a sight to see.
Speaker 26: 52:49 Well,
I can confirm that he got a total of 2252.4 metres. This is exactly what
Guinness World Records is about.
Speaker 27: 53:16 [foreign
language 00:53:16].
