Today, I'm gonna fly a jet pack.
I can guarantee you he's going to have a lot of fun.
What am I doing?
Yo that was so much cooler than I was expecting, not that I expected it to not be cool.
I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to fly a jet pack.
While they might seem like science fiction jet packs have actually been around for decades.
And one of the biggest names in the game is Jetpack Aviation.
During my time off this summer, I found myself in California hanging out with
some other YouTubers, you know, trying to figure out the meaning of life.
While I was there, Jetpack Aviation reached out and asked if
I wanted to try their jet pack.
If you want to try the jet pack, they offer jet pack training to the general
public, making me one of the few people in the world to try both Gravity's jet
suit and Jetpack Aviation's jet pack.
Let me show you how it went.
Hey guys, I'm here at Jetpack Aviation and today I'm going to fly a jet pack.
So you're going to have to remove shoes, socks, pant, t-shirt, everything,
except your underwear.
And then I'm going to give you everything.
All right.
This video.
I can't believe I'm not wearing my own underwear today.
It's funny.
Cause I am actually launching underwear.
It says engineered.
Yeah, I didn't, I didn't know.
I'd have to strip.
There I did it.
All right.
So we're going to start with some basic hand signals.
So if I want you to have a bit of power, I would say go up, okay,
if I want you to reduce the power I will do the opposite.
Then this is really, really important.
Probably the most important of all of them that means zero throttle.
So you are putting the power up, remember up, up, down, up, down.
So if anything happen, I will show you.
That means zero.
We have the remote control it's safe, but it's better if you do it by yourself. It's a good reflex.
The first flight is going to be intense.
So you just relax, just like sit on the jetpack.
Slow movement.
Like it's tiny.
Although everything is very tiny little movement, tiny little, left, and right
nothing crazy at all.
You will feel it.
If you do anything too fast that will move in a way you don't want,
so everything very slowly. Relax.
And so basically what you want to do
it's not bringing your body front.
That's not going to work because if you do that, basically your arms might actually
go up, which is not exactly, which I want you to go forwards.
Right.
It's just body straight, just the arms. Again flight number one and
two, we might not get there yet, but who knows! All right, let's go, let's do it.
Jet packs are close to my heart.
You guys have been watching me try and fly like Ironman for several years
now, another thing close to my heart is giant
mechs
We've been building this power loader for almost three years now.
And last year I got the opportunity to pilot the cross thesis by periodic
Ekso Bionics, but neither of those are quite like the movies just yet,
which is why I like to play Mech Arena.
Mech Arena combines my love of giant mechs
and basically blowing crap up.
It's the third person mech shooter, where you take control of a
mech and blast your way through five real-time PVP matches.
I've been playing Mech Arena a lot lately, and my favorite mechs are
Guardian and Killshot. Guardian can carry the heaviest weapons and has
the power to shut down enemy abilities, forcing them to completely reload.
And Killshot.
Well, Killshot's crazy fast with a melee dash and obliterates the enemy.
Whether you're were fighting solo or teaming up with friends, there's
a mech for however you want to play.
Mech Arena has awesome in-game events, as well as a great
login rewards program, which you definitely don't want to miss out on.
In the meantime, you can use my link in the description below or
scan my QR code, get one black carbon skin, 300 a-coins, 50,000
credits to help kickstart your game.
And if you're quick, you can also add me as friends at TheHacksmith.
and I'll see you in the arena.
Flying a jet pack with a broken hand
I can guarantee you he is going to have a lot of fun.
Do that movement.
Perfect.
Okay.
i was a little worried at first. The first few times he tried taking his hand away.
I was just like, I'm like, oh, I'm not going to get this.
And then, and then I found my balance point on it, then I was
fine, danger is my middle name.
Oh, you want me to grab this?
Okay.
You want to do that again?
All right.
I need full mobility of my broken hand.
So for the first round, uh, basically he was controlling everything.
Um, I was just kind of being a puppet this time,
he's going to control the throttle cause that's the trickier one to
like maintain the perfect balance.
Yeah.
And I'm going to I'm hopefully going to be controlling the up and down.
And the yeah with this, and then he's going to let me try and control the
throttle just a little bit, and hopefully I can find a hover point and stay there.
Without being like
Cuz that's bad.
That was awesome.
It's tricky, but not, not that tricky.
Huh, that's a good way to describe.
Well, I was having a ton of fun trying out the jet pack.
It was time to let my friends, Allen and Xyla try as well.
Both our YouTuber's that you should totally subscribe to.
This was the biggest size they had I think.
It's medium.
It's just a little tight.
Yeah.
Wait a second.
All the way down.
Superhero landing.
Oh, it's too tight it's too tight.
You gotta do the Black Widow hair whip.
You poser.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's talk more flying.
Get in there.
Strap in.
I didn't have to wear gloves.
At least my hand's not broke.
Oh, I went there.
It's ok he's got 12 million subscribers he'll survive.
What am I doing?
i can't believe they're letting me do this.
You forget what the ground feels like my feet touched the ground I was like holy that's the ground again.
By the way zero control
I was so bad at that.
That was all you dude.
I was like, which way do I lean to go this way?
And this man's life was in my, my life was in his hands.
You good?
Yes, this is I'm good.
I'm better than I ever have been in my life.
I don't even know dude that was,
awesome.
I will say though, I cannot imagine doing that without a tether.
I would die instantly.
Let's get Xyla that thing. You ready?
Yes!
Well, ah, it's a little big on you Xyla.
You know what? Uh.
You calling me fat?
No, the opposite actually the exact opposite.
Woo girl I almost swooned.
Don't put a pageant girl in a jetpack.
Yo that was so much cooler than I was expecting, not that I was expecting it to not be cool but like.
Woah. Like, ah, flying.
It's like the ultimate human goal.
It looks like you tried to take off there on your own.
I didn't mean to!
I can tell you she want's to go up!
I was like no down now.
And what did you think?
Amazing.
High five.
Yeah!
Alright huge thank you to Jetpack aviation for letting me try out their JB 10 jet pack.
They're done doing a ton of cool stuff, developing a bunch of other jet packs,
and even, do I call it a speeder bike? speeder just speeder. A flying motorcycle.
Anyways, I got two flights in.
It was really cool.
Um, I hope to come back soon, continue my training.
Cause flying that thing is freaking awesome.
Next time.
Yeah. Iron man 1? Roadie? Next time.
