Don’t worry, the expected overabundance of drifts and slides, near misses and big jumps is present, along with a very imaginative dub step soundtrack and he has more cameras focused on him than Paris Hilton getting out of a car at a lingerie launch. Enjoy!

Flyboard: the powered wakeboard extreme sport NEW GADGET http://www.asksteve.co.za/flyboard-the-powered-wakeboard-extreme-sport-new-gadget/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=flyboard-the-powered-wakeboard-extreme-sport-new-gadget http://www.asksteve.co.za/flyboard-the-powered-wakeboard-extreme-sport-new-gadget/#comments Fri, 22 Feb 2013 08:58:24 +0000 steve http://www.asksteve.co.za/?p=2885 Well the extreme sport and Jackass videos will follow shortly no doubt. Using a concept that we’re not unfamiliar with (but won’t mention here), the Flyboard is explained as a jet powered wakeboard that lets you fly like a bird or swim like a dolphin. And as the video below shows, that’s not a bad description. NOTE: hot girls on surfboards perving at you while you fly are not included in the price. As I can understand it from the pretty non-descript PR bumpf, the Flyboard is connected to a jetski which gives you 90% of your propulsion. The other 10% goes to the hand jets which give you just enough thrust to direct yourself where you want to go. 20 minutes, and they say you’ll be mermaid-ing through the air.

Not many specs have been released on the HD wearable video camera, but it is certain to include: SteadyShot image stabilization technology Exmor R CMOS image sensor Ultra-wide angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens I look forward to sharing with you the endless videos of people falling off of mountains and crashing into things that this camera will bring.
