    I guess the fan blows in reverse. Which would kick you off the thing. You'd stop quickly. The machine a bit less. lol

    It looks like a partially run-over snail in silver. Does it leave a slime trail?

    It's got one of those "Hey mom watch this!" feels to it.

    I had a radio control hovercraft and it stopped pretty quickly once you let off on the lift fan.

    Ok, um... what is that grey stuff i've circled...? Bad photochop job...? If so, what were they chopping...? Are my eyes playing tricks on me or does that look suspect...? Not saying the... "vehicle" is, just wondering about the oddity in the picture... Click here for the original picture...
