Start Saving Your Pennies...

Let's face it: It's 2011, we're not going to get the flying cars or hover boards of our childhood dreams. Both you and I spent countless Crayola hours dreaming how sweet our life would be while popping a backside ollie 180's on the most gorgeous magnetized board your Mauvelous-colored crayons could handle. (Unlike you, there were also a good amount of unicorns painting rainbows off of which I would half-cab) But the fact remains, we will never have this.

Let me pick your spirits back up off the floor by sharing with you what we CAN have in 2011. To do this, we have to tap into that inner Boba or indeed your inner Rocketeer. Folks, it's here. Finally a jet pack that an individual can have without stealing it from the military to fight Nazis!

Martin Jetpack developed a jet pack that sustains longer flights than those of its predecessors. "Initially designed with the leisure market in mind, commercial demand for the Martin Jetpack has seen the research and development programme focus on readying the product for use in a number of sectors including emergency response, defence and recreation, with numerous applications in each sector."


For the price of just one Mercedes-Benz S-Class, she can be all yours.

I can tell what you're thinking. "Pretty impressive, but there's no way I'll strap gasoline to my back even if I would look like the most amazing human being ever and I dressed up as Cobra Commander for Halloween, so that's saying something." Not to worry, there's a jet pack for you.

JetLev has developed a non-conventional jet pack for the sports enthusiast. The JetLev R200 uses water pressure to rocket you right out of the water and fly with ease (Can be used in fresh AND salt water!) "It is designed for safety, stability, ease-of-use, and precise and effortless flight controls. Learn basic flight with video-assisted training on land and as little as six minutes of on-water instructions." I don't know about you, but I love it when it only takes me 6 minutes to learn something.

Pardon the awful music in this video:

The price of this beauty is a whole $500 cheaper than the Martin Jetpack. A steal!

See you in the skies!
