Ah, the power of fossil fuels..

Hell yeah. Personal jet pack closer than ever.

Park rangers at end: "Yeah, we're definitely confiscating that".

 

[metatheurgist]

Eh, looks fake. No jetwash except for that one shot with the jeep. The grass wasn't even bending at the approach at the end. Compare to how much water mass is being projected by the waterjet to keep that guy in the air and the effect it was having on the water.

 

[shreddog]

Well it's not fake. It's the same company that produce that Hydroflyer.
I guess he didn't fly low enough for the jet blast to be noticeable.

For my part I'm not surprised, I use it already since a few months to do my shopping every day at the local supermarket.

No wonder you're a "hooray for everything" type of guy.
Neighbor's grown son has a hayabusa, fully customized, including lengthened frame, and when on track, 2 nitrous tanks.

Personally, I get my robot butler to do all the shopping.

Very nice ! I want to lengthen my swim arm by 4-6 inches (for reasons) eventually. The power of those types of Busas tends to begin at 300bhp. Which officially puts them into the realm of crazytown! ...My more modest 195bhp is quite sufficient for me !
