Well here's my next Adventure when I'm not enjoying my SS
I've done and still do the Jet Pack but this should be a hoot!
Thrills With No Wheels

That looks like more fun than the Slingshot

get a grom!!

Certainly looks interesting, but several things make me suspicious. The US Army tried a flying platform many years ago and it was considerably bigger. That platform looks very small and trying to balance something that small would seem to be pretty difficult without some serious electronics. Perhaps an advanced version of the balancing techniques used in Segways. Also, that platform looks awfully small to hold both some sort of power source and a motor powerful enough to provide the amount of lift exhibited in the video.
If it's real, It definitely looks like FUN. -
get a grom!!
I just bought a Grom a month ago. Fun little bike.
I'm sure it is considerably cheaper than the new hoverboard think in the video.Stephen

The Grom is totally cool! Ended up buying a TW200 this month because I like going off-roading too...

The current issue of Popular Science has an article about a propeller supported hoverboard and it is significantly larger than what is shown in the video. Doesn't mean the video isn't accurate, but makes me wonder.

Here's another toy I'm waiting for with really big props and 2 of them;
-
Also looks pretty neat. Definitely looks like it needs some advanced electronics to make it work.

- I'm sure they use that gyro computer thing-a-ma-jig to help stabilize it.

Six turbines(turbojets?) for power. Impressive, but doesn't sound like I will ever be able to afford one. I'm surprised he made the platform so small as stabilizing a larger platform should be easier. That was the main reason I wasn't sure if it was real or not.

It's the prototype in this great article @Slunglow found;http://www.theverge.com/2016/4…ying-hoverboard-interview
Zapata states that the production model down the road will be a sit down which should have a larger platform.

Awesome but realized I would be injured for sure.
