@RainbowGoGangster3
So what was your favourite hovering means of transport in the game? I liked the guard's hellcat, it is more of a hover tank than anything else we liked to prove our skills by snatching one from the guards and get away with it long enough to not be pursued anymore.

I generally liked the J&D games concept of a hovering traffic; there are two height levels you can hover on, one right above the ground (if the flyer is parked for example) and one about three meters above the ground (the level where all of the traffic was happening, while people were walking below).
I often imagined how it would be if we had such vehicles on our streets, we could use the street on two different height levels.

A hover skateboard. I never learned how to ride an actual skateboard, but this why, I can pretend to be like Tally in Extras. (Super Special Awesome book).

Aha, can't beat back to the future bro.
Although with a hover car, you could cruise about in the air with the likes of a radio etc, would make travelling longer distances easier.

Hover car because I do not know how to ride a skateboard. A skateboard would be easier to maneuver through the skies if they were to get crowded.

A hover car, I'd probably fall off the skateboard.

Definitely a hover car. The same reasoning in my case applies to a normal car. I would prefer a normal car over a normal skateboard.

And if I wished to do so, I could sell the hover car and make a nice wad of cash. Eh, I'll just assume the hover car is a luxury automobile and the hover skateboard has all these newfangled thingies.

Can't we have both, the skateboard for short travels, the car for long distances?

Maybe the hover skateboard would be hovering from a low distance from the ground (60 cm-1m) and the hover car would "fly" (3m-6m). So of you want to go to the shop you would grab your skateboard,but if you wanted to go on a road trip you would take a hover car.
I would take the hover car. I won't hover fall and hover fail.
Anybody thinking about a hover bike and hover motorcycle/scooter?

Exactly what I was thinking.

I would prefer the hover car.
Especially if it looked like this. http://thelegendaryscrooloose.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/hover-car.jpg?w=500&h=281

I'd go with the car. Same reason as GoM: I'd probably fall off the skateboard.

As for the hover bikes, that reminds me of Star Wars. The one where the child was racing the others with the hover motorcycle, that'd be neat, but I wouldn't like it. I'd rather be in a car.
