Default Guess what this is!!!

Someone I met on the net from Belgium that liked the Jet Luge has been busy prototyping another landcraft. This is prototype #2 with a few parts missing. Powered by a Simjet Nexus 3000. All of the jet related parts and fuel tank are molded into this piece. Can you guess what it is?

Lol that plate on the front end of it looks like part of a coffee maker....perhaps the turbines exhaust is actually faced toward the front to heat up a nice pot!

No No and No... well this hint may give it away.. but there are few parts missing (not many) one thing is the wheels.

I would have guessed a working model of a new Back to the Future Hover Board, but it is not that either

Seems that a Jet Scooter is the Win. Jet Powered Razor, Step, Ped. what ever you call it where you live. Just add 2 wheels and the handlebar with the controls. I will post pictures and vid when he is finished. I wished I knew how to make things from composites like this.. I could knock 12 lbs or so off the luge.

Heck 44 is still young in the speedboard world, but we don't do 360's. I will let you ride when you are ready to put the full leathers and helmet on and skate downhill at 65+ mph in traffic with no engine.... Call it the Jet Skateboard Waiver Test.

here is a training video for ya Kevin Just a little ditty of what we do near Rio.

I like the vid....When I was 16 years old I was clocked at 42 MPH by the local police skating down the steep end of a viaduct that crossed over some RR tracks----The speed limit was 35. The board was nothing special, Kryptonite wheels, Tracker wide trucks for bowl riding, and a Sims 36" laminated board. No leathers just a T-shirt and shorts, some knee/elbow pads, and a light helmet--I look back on all of it and wonder at times how I didn't get killed.. If I had a steeper hill around here I would have skated it...Have you ever had the board start to violently oscillate (We called it the wobbles) at high speed??? The first time it happened to me I got thrown off the board and wound up with a severe case of road rash..From then on I made sure that I carried a wrench to tighten up the trucks before a speed run.

Keep us posted on the JetSkate!!!
