$483,000, plus tax to own.

For a mere $3500 or so, you can rent one for a while.

I will watch this in the same vein as I watch NASCAR: "waiting for the wreck."

Wonder how fast they go. I know they’ll be racing over water but i cant imagine them being to fast cause water gets very hard when traveling fast. I had a compound fracture skying at leas than 70mph.

The report I saw this morning mentioned they could get up to 85 mph.

I wouldn't care if it was just 45 (defeats the jet part, I know). Just lemme fly.

It takes a lot of upper body strength. I'd love to try it, but I KNOW it would wear me out.

Yeah it’d be tough for us older guys!!!
It’s like doing the rings in gymnastics according to the adds…..
I couldn’t do it at this point in my life for sure..
From about 18 to my early 30’s hell yeah!!!
