Too cool for words must have!!!

Forget jet skis - forget towed toys - forget paragliders - you just HAVE to get one of these!!!



Hurry up though - it is bound to be banned - people actually enjoy it!!!

Looks like fun for around 15mins until the novelty wears off.
I can think of ways of using $128000 and having much more fun for it.........
