This video of a guy on a flying board at the Bastille Day celebrations in Paris is pretty amazing.
It appears that we are now living in a science-fiction world.
His name is Franky Zapata. The French inventor of the jet turbine “Flyboard Air” and before that the water-jet powered Flyboard.
That does look like it’s right out of “Guardians of the Galaxy”.
2016 thread on him; he’s been doing it a while.
My electric scooter doesn’t seem so cool anymore.
I like how it looks to be some sort of showcase demonstration of technology, and in the foreground, there’s a small glider on the back of a pickup truck, some remote-controlled car-type things, and a 4-wheeled contraption that looks less impressive than the robot from Short Circuit in the '80s. And then the dude swooshes in with his super-advanced technology flying board, and hovers stationary in the air a hundred feet above them like something from futuristic superhero CGI blockbuster movie… 
You must need incredible balance to ride that thing. How does it handle in windy conditions?
I bet it has gyroscopes and a computer maintaining balance like a quadcopter.
Trump is gonna be so mad when he sees this!
Merci, Emmanuel Macron! Merci beaucoup!
Straight out of the futuristic 1950s. Although I’ll admit the modern version is a lot smaller and more refined.
Still a truly insane idea for any military to use them, as I’ve seen suggested in various articles. You might as well scream Pull! as you pop up over the battlefield.
My first thought when I saw him flying around, holding the rifle - what happens when he shoots? I’m guessing a demonstration of action/reaction…
He is planning a Cross Channel flight to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the first powered air crossing by Louis Blériot on 25 Juillet, 1909.
Now that’s what I call a hoverboard!
This is what I thought when I saw whose Twitter account it was.
Right out of Back to the Future II, just four years late.
I liked the video that was two below that one, that showed the 3 French police officers climbing into a small dingy in flood waters that ultimately capsizes.
