My son got a hoverboard for xmas. I have played with it a little bit. Its hilariously fun. It has also resulted in some amazing wipeouts
Is there a sanctioning body for hoverboard racing? Hoverboard-cross? Hoverboard-khana?

I'm 74 and while out in our motorhome with our two teenage granddaughters we saw several kids riding hoverboards very proficiently. We were all sitting there and I said I think I need one of those. My wife's response was "you will bust your butt" I responded with the old gag line "it's already got a crack in it". The two granddaughters couldn't stop laughing even calling their mothers to tell them the story. So every time I see someone on a hoverboard that's what I think of. They are very cool and it's amazing what people can do riding them. Probably not something I should be considering at my age.
Just stopping in to say that kits like this exist that you can attach a hoverboard to:
I second a racing series.

The crazy thing is: mega yaw control! I wonder how that drives!
Saw a kid last weekend on one that was a tricycle configuration and used two-stick steering like a zero turn mower. The sticks moved the footpads forward and back. The thing had reverse in that setup.
not hoverboard, but similar, and competition:
edit:
I was trying to convince mazdeuce to get some informal laps on one at the kart track. No luck, so far.
I saw a guy riding one of these a few months ago & it completely freaked me out. Not as much as the price did though.
