Is it real? Lots of Internet hoaxes out there- this seems too unbelievable.

If it is real, where do I get one!

Notice how he stays over water so that when the inevitable "inversion" occurs, he falls into the water.

Four minutes of flight is longer than most Jet Packs, right?

If it's a hoax, then we all got a free ride, so who is complaining?

Exactly right. I would own one of the Unobtanium Fly Boards in a second.

I can say that advances in six axis gyros, auto pilots and propulsion, two out of the three would enable the Fly Board.

Screw mechanical and chemical propulsion. I'm holding out for anti-grav (I know, I'll be waiting a long time!)

Duh. I still want one. Today. Cash.

I'd ride that thing like the name of our Over the Line Team in the 80's: Like Your little Sister.

Must have some kind of computer managed stability control modulating the force from each jet keeping it upright. It is inherently unstable and I don't see how a human can react fast enough to keep it right side up.
