maddmaxx ★ Posted July 3, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 3, 2015 I don't think I'd bother with the bike but I would like to try the water jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted July 4, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 4, 2015 I can't even figure out what it is?It is basically a fire hose hooked to a jet ski and it blasts you out of the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 4, 2015 Share #9 Posted July 4, 2015 I would give it a try, but I bet I would not look that cool I can easily picture it. You look pretty cool in that mental picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted July 4, 2015 Share #11 Posted July 4, 2015 Hmmmmm. How do you land?I think that is one of those instances when "land" is not one's friend. It ain't the sudden stop so much as the hard packed soil, and rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted July 4, 2015 Share #12 Posted July 4, 2015 Variations on this theme: The devices are basically similar to the Bell jet backpack system of years ago except that instead of explosive rocket motors strapped to you there are waterjets that you control and a pump floating on the surface of the water at the end of that flexible pipe that provide the thrust for you to fly. When I first saw the system the jets were up on your back and spread out like arms on either side, presumably for stability and ease of control. The latest variations seem to involve boots with jets and there are some videos out there that show some wild aerobatics/acrobatics/aquabatics as the flyers flip and tumble about. You are only constrained by the length and flexablilty of the hose going back to the pump. The guy in this video has his pump system in or with a jet ski that follows him around. He also has hand jets to go with the boot jets. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted July 4, 2015 Share #13 Posted July 4, 2015 I can easily picture it. You look pretty cool in that mental picture. I do not believe your mental picture is the same as mine as I crash into something Hmmmmm. How do you land? I think there is a had control that allows you to adjust the amount of water... not to sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
