(33,224 posts)1. I love that guy. He's a walking talking Red Bull commercial.
But I'm seriously confused about how it's supposed to work. The air intake is the lower nozzle, right?
If so, his seat is gonna catch on fire.

I don't even like to go fast on a riding lawn mower these days.
At some point in the future, I expect to see one of these featured in the Darwin Awards.
