Zapata Racing has created an actual hoverboard called the Flyboard, and it’s pretty much a real life version of Green Goblin’s glider. This thing can fly up to 10,000 feet, and it goes over 90 mph! How freakin’ cool is that?! They even released a video showing it in action, which you can watch below:
Zapata Racing has achieved the dream of mankind and offers you the first video of Franky Zapata flying on the innovation Flyboard® Air.The Independent Propulsion Unit represents 4 years of hard work for a result exceeding all records:- Autonomous flight up to 10,000 feet
- Top speed of 150km/h (93,2 mph)
- 10 min autonomyAlthough the UFO is still in prototype phase and won’t be on the market in 2016, it has exactly the same behavior as the Wfd Flyboard® Pro Series.
I want one!

The Wizard
Directed by Todd Holland
Screenplay by David Chisholm
1989, USA
Although e-sports have long been a part of video game culture since the early 70′s, competitions saw a large surge in popularity in 1989 when Universal Pictures produced The Wizard, about a trio of kids who make their way to a national Nintendo video game championship (Video Armageddon) for a grand prize of $50,000. The charismatic and rising star of television’s Wonder Years, Fred Savage, stars as Corey, a boy who escorts his deeply traumatized younger half-brother Jimmy (Luke Edwards) away from a group home and sets off on a cross-country trek, chased by their father (Beau Bridges), their older brother (Christian Slater), and a child-finder, hired by their mother to bring him back home. Along the way they meet little Haley (Jenny Lewis) and discover that Jimmy is a real prodigy when it comes to video games. They make a stop off in Reno,...

Who would've thought that Roger Corman's 1975 cult classic indie pic 'Death Race 2000' starring a still fairly unknown Sylvester Stallone would one day spawn not only a remake, but a franchise?! Well, low and behold, we're now up to Part 3 in the series as 'Death Race: Inferno' hits Blu-Ray and DVD on January 22nd. The good news? Paul W.S. Anderson, the helmer behind the remake is not back for this entry. Instead it's director Roel Reiné who directed the previous installment 'Death Race 2'. And if you're ready for this new movie in the series, well then hopefully these 5 clips will get you pumped for the release. Check 'em out below along with the synopsis after the film clips.

The cosmetics and perfume wing of the French fashion house began many years ago with a little fragrance called No5
What's the story?
In beauty terms, it all starts with Chanel No5. It is the best-selling fragrance in the world. The world! That's a lot of people all going around smelling the same. It started life back in 1921 when Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel was already reigning over the Paris fashion world. Created with Russian perfumer to the Tsars, Ernest Beaux, the name for Chanel's first fragrance is said to come from her superstitious belief in the virtues of the number five. Apparently she picked the fifth sample presented to her by Beaux and the simple name stuck. It was the first time that a fashion house had created a perfume and it soon became a huge hit. At the same time, Chanel started to expand and go global launching a cosmetics...

This new hi-tech Uno III streebike is really more than meets the eye! In fact just call it a Segway in disguise. The Uno III can transform from a motorcycle (actually a three-wheeled sports bike, but the back two wheels are very close together) to a two-wheel dicycle that resembles a souped-up Segway personal transporter.
The Uno III has internal gyros to maintain stability while in the two wheel mode (Uno Mode), just like the Segway. In the mode below the U3 is able to maneuver very easily making tight turns without taking up much space. It is possible to drive this urban vehicle around an office, taking it down a hallway or up an elevator. This is the mode to be in for small spaces or when there are crowds around.
As your speed increases, the third wheel on the U3 automatically folds out and the rear wheels slide back.

A certain young wizard may soar on a Quidditch stick, but when it comes to sea legs, he's about to face some splashy competition from a high-flying old favorite. Donald Duck, who turns 77 this year, has impressively gone high tech, starring in a new water ride aboard the upper reaches of the latest addition to the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the 128,000-ton, 1,250-cabin Dream. After an invitation-only Port Canaveral, Fla., christening last week with Dreamgirls Oscar winner (and former Disney Cruise Line singer) Jennifer Hudson serving as the ship's official godmother, the luxury Dream leaves on her maiden voyage with the public Wednesday.

I find that movie fans tend to be the most passionate (some will read crazy here) people in the world. We take our love of film to an entirely different level, which most movie-goers just don't understand. From massive collections (like my Star Wars one) to a religious like devotion to midnight showings, each fan expresses their passion in different ways. Hell, it's not uncommon for movie props to go for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auctions. All of that being said, some fans still like to take it further by designing and creating their own costumes, props, and even vehicles.
Late last week we showed you an awesome bit of fan work in this full scale Ninja Turtles van. From a nostalgia point of view (especially if you grew up with the show as many of us did) it's insanely cool. However, it's hard to be the sheer...

Racing Dreams is a movie that showcases the little league version of racecar driving. The flick also proves there is still a demand for jean shorts in many parts of the country. When one thinks of race cars, Nascar enters the mind. Another thought is how can this "sport" entertain the masses? Director Marshall Curry decided to formulate a documentary which shows a lesser-known aspect of the racing world. The beginning.
Brandon, Annabeth, and Josh are all Nascar hopefuls. Their dream is to race alongside the likes of Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Danica Patrick. Josh and Annabeth are 12 years old and race in the Junior National Championships for World Karting Associations. Brandon, 13, races in the Senior division for Wka. Top speed is 70mph. All three descend from different upbringings. Brandon is primarily raised by his grandparents due to his father having drug and alcohol related problems.

It's the car James Bond would drive… if he was a middle-aged dad
Aston Martin Rapide
Price £139,950
Top speed 118mph
Acceleration 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds
Average consumption 19mpg
CO2 emissions 355g/km
Eco rating 0.5
Bound for The school run
In a word Post-coital
As far as we know, James Bond never had children. While he often found himself tied up, he always managed to avoid getting tied down. It remains crucial to his identity as an escapist fantasy that he didn't have to worry about the procreational payoff of recreational sex. We can imagine 007 in a variety of tricky situations, but attending a parents' meeting or discussing the latest Mini Boden catalogue are not among them.
But what if it had worked out with Vesper Lynd, and they settled down and produced a couple of micro agents? What would Bond drive? It's just conceivable that he'd push a pram, but...
