It’s not the first time Mr Cricket has risked his neck at the top of a building. He makes somewhat of a habit of it. Here is his jumping around the very edges of a sky scraper.

If you don’t think that gnarly, seek urgent medical attention.

He’s also, along with his buddies, scaled the 101 story, 414 metre high Princess tower in Dubai.

So, now they’re in the hands of these extreme dare devils and risk takers, does this make Hoverboards cool? No. Of course it doesn’t. In the same way as David Cameron enjoying the music of The Smiths doesn’t make him a human capable of emotion and empathy, the association of a shit thing with a cool thing doesn’t create some good-vibe osmosis, enhancing the credibility of the former.

In short; Parkour on tall buildings: good. Hoverboards: shit.
