IF THIS IS REAL I WANT ONE !

After further review, it looks like its done with wires and a harness.  Everyones shirts behind the necks looks puffed up like a harness lifting them.  Not to mention no one is wearing a helmet while riding over pavement.  To bad they would make mucho money if it was real.

[PonoBill]

Dream on.

[Weasels wake]

If it was real, we all wouldn't need tires anymore, the tire lobby will prevent this from happening for probably the foreseeable future, and roads for that matter.

Sorry, buzz kill I know. 

But how could that effect surfing?  That's something to dream on about.
We'd prolly just be like pelicans, surfing the air effect off the face of the waves w/o even getting wet.

Do you have to change the flux capacitor often?

[Subber]

Apparently a much flatter learning curve than SUP.

Can you use a land paddle with it?

Will it work over waves?
(probably easier than the hydrofoil board)

[supthecreek]

Wow!
Who said legalizing pot would lead to no good ?

Everybody's getting high.... and it looks like fun

It doesn't come in any colors I like

The video opens with a freakin' DeLorean, did anyone actually fall for this? 

[SlatchJim]

If this is real, I can trade my unicorn to that leprechaun that keeps pestering me.  If only...

I loved that Monsanto House of the Future when I was little--that and the Carousel of Progress.


Funny how in Monsanto's view, everything in the future would be made of plastic.  I knew an architect who designed a house in the 1930s or 40s here in Portland that was built as a model house to showcase all the benefits of using.....asbestos.  Asbestos siding, flooring, roofing, ductlining....he had an article from the paper describing it all from when it was built.  I believe it still may be there.


My daughter wants a Delorean, but only the electric one that costs $95k.  You can actually buy new Deloreans (electric or standard) built from original, unused, official parts.   A company bought their whole warehouse with its entire inventory of parts when it went bankrupt.
