I can’t believe that I just watched people racing jetpacks. That first place trophy was an awesome idea!
console game commercial
@@dopenerdaroc3211 It looks like science fiction and video games, but is real. How cool is that?
I can't believe you watched it either.
Ok
Yeah it was awesome, and it's perfect for holding it up.
At 70 yo that was the first jet pack race I've seen. It's about time.
It used to be science fiction~! Welcome to the future!
@@TUBESPECIFIC1 That is what I say to myself at just over sixty times around the Sun. Yesterday, I watched Monocycle races and then this. I really like the SpaceX rocket landing upright like Buck Rogers, I have invention notes from the mid '90s of an analogy balance system that I've never tried to see if it would work. I used to live in the metroplexes and moved to the North-woods for just over a decade and had to go back and EVERYBODY was watching their smartphones. I noticed that even O Hare doesn't put up navigation signs nor clocks anymore.
@@TUBESPECIFIC1That was pretty much what I thought when we landed a giant robot on Mars with a ROCKET CRANE :D
@@bardmadsen6956 Yea the monocycles or E unicycle one wheels are cool. I see those out in Salt Lake often and want to do. I know it's not for older guys for you can really crash out or get run over. Yea, nobody in the city talks to one another anymore for its just all screens to simulate having friends and fun and many simulate work online getting paid. I need that too for 2020's is really hard with all the inflation, antisocial vibes, divisions, and civil war brewing. Many of us wish so badly to fly and get in the outdoors, but can't even drive places anymore. This isn't America anymore. I fondly remember landing in O'hare the very first flight I took at 19. It was an adventurous experience! I fondly remember popping out the clouds in descent with my ears hurting seeing Chicago just magically appears and that Sears tower and economic skyline inspiring me that America was truly great and it was a high honor to be an American serving in the US Army. I guess movies and music and reading had us thinking things were much better than they reall are. Do you just stay alone socially distanced and watch RUclips as much as humanly and timely possible?
@@SilentSooYun What? I must have missed that one about landing a giant robot on mars with a rocket crane. OK, it did happen, sorta. Spirit and Opportunity were an inspiring look. Space X is going to really go there in person. I bet living in the 2030's and 40's could be cool if we can all get past 2020's. One thing that most uncool is if the sky fills up with mushroom clouds, toxic smoke, and killer viruses while the dollar system collapses out destroying America first. If we can not have world war 3 like Elon Musk says too, then we can carry on with security and safety and great joy into old age.
The facts that we are living in an age where pple fly around in jet packs is just amazing.
Can't wait to see this happen on the moon! Here's hoping 2042 🤞
when you realize we've had this tech for over half a century and its only public now because the military has produced stuff thats magnitudes more complex and futuristic than jetpacks... its not as cool as you think. who cares about activities that only rich people get to participate in.
Megaman irl lmao
@rogerkorir 💯🔥🤙
Yeah, for 1 minute at a time...
This is probably what it felt like to see the first cars racing
Not really ,We've seen all this in computer games and movies many years ago,so we've been prepared for it.I guess it was very different with cars,since people never seen it anywhere else before.
@@sanlex5982 that’s a good point, but it’s still pretty awing
@@Luke_eb I agree,still amazing to see it in a real life.
@@sanlex5982 I mean, cars are just carriages without horses, and we've raced those since antiquity.
@@Dayanto ^ that. Im sure it was amazing and all but its just a horseless carriage, it wasnt something entirely new
Well done guys i know how long you've been pushing to make this happen.
I think you should make one colin
Do you, Colin?
colinfurze in da house.. lets go!!
Colin will you help me electrify my off-road wheelchair?! I will be the most grateful noob RUclipsr you’ve ever met 🥹
You can do better I can almost guarantee it
Everyday we're inching closer and closer to an irl iron man suit!
ruclips.net/video/77pnVFLkUjM/видео.html
thrusters ✅ AI ✅ missles✅ beams❎ power source ❌
an EE’s dream come true🤤
Exactly
Arc reactor is yet to come
that trophy is absolutely rad! A wearable trophy! I think thats gotta be a world first too!
Did you just say rad?
@@jessizthebess4590 It's a completely cromulent word.
@@jessizthebess4590 What's wrong with saying rad? I use it all the time. 😁
"Worlds first Wearable trophy!", just don't look at those gold, silver, bronze ones people have been getting for thousands of years....
@@Thorgon-Cross I get it but that's just a medal. They actually gave the winner a trophy modeled after part of the jetsuit that he had to put his arm in and hold. That's a lot different than a thin medal. And since when have people been getting gold, silver, and bronze medals to put on for thousands of years? The modern Olympics is only 130 years old and I don't think they put medals on winners in the ancient Olympics. From what I just looked up, wearable medals for events have only been used for a few hundred years.
Racing always pushes improvements to technology
yeh but, yeh but this stuff is a blind alley. novelty - nothing more
@@raymondo162 I highly disagree. There's a reason why certain militaries are investing in it and have jet suit units. France has a squadron of these, and France is not one to go for frivolous novelties. They are often far ahead because they have a keen eye to see potential when others are afraid to invest because new tech is always considered "novelty" at the start. iPhone was mocked on launch because smart phones were considered novelty. Try finding a mobile phone today that's _not_ a smart phone... (yes, they still exist, but that's not the point.)
The USA has recently started constructing its first high speed train line. France introduced the first commercial high speed train connection in 1981! So when they invest in this tech today for military applications, expect it to become commonplace in half a century.
Really exciting! But I think it might be nice to have the courses be more "3 dimensional". So make it also that the pilots have to fly over/under obstacles and also have generally more and sharper turns. To really show off the manouverability of these suits.
I think they opted for safety so as to not have the sport marked by injury from the get. I predict the progression of these races will be similar to the maneuverability of the suits--gradual and rounded. I do look forward to seeing that progress, though.
1 step at a time.
Yeah, I get the need to take it slow and steady, but this isn't exciting. They need more complex obstacles that could only be done with a jetpack. We've seen them chase and land on boats, and go over rough terrain.
Make it more exciting, or this will be the last race series.
@@benp7328I think they could make big floating rings to fly through instead of just pylons. You could vary the heights a little without needing to fly dangerously high off the water and even have horizontal rings to force you to slow down and pass through vertically.
I agree, 1 step at a time, but what great ideas for the future of this sport! I'm super excited to see what becomes of this.
I've been following these jet suits for a while now and it's absolutely incredible how you achieved this in just 7 years! Richard truly is an amazing person to go from an idea 7 years ago to this, it just completely blows my mind.
That trophy is the most Dubai thing ever!
Having flown one of these over in the UK the skill to do this at speed is really something. I only managed a hover and was proud of myself for that :-) I need to save more for extra lessons so I can be part of this one day
:-)
How much was it?
@@rocketeer6713 about 10,000 USD for full day of training. If you just want shorter experience then about 3500. They need to fund their research to make better suits etc right now so this is very much early adopter prices. I expect as racing leagues like this take off they can charge less one day with economy of scale.
Feels like drone footage will be the future of entertainment. Very engaging.
Already is as the future out of science fiction is arrival redefining our real world. Now if the billionaires could get the money system to work properly for everyone and stop wars, we'd be golden shiny all the way.
because it was drone footage and CGI
@@shemite850 What CGI?
@@johnsmithe4656 omg
@@shemite850 Get off the internet and go outside. We don't have time your nonsense anymore.
You should setup 3D data-feeds on the flyers and cameras for use in realtime graphics and replays and analysis from any moment and viewpoint, with tracked/mapped video overlay information and a interactive 3D visualizer.
For example when the guy crashed we'd see what angles of the thrusters, power levels and forces are, and if their was enough lift. Then we can figure out what happend (not enough power? bad thrust angles? weak shaky grip? fuel or system problem? etc etc). And after the race you can easily rewind for analysis and discuss strategy (trajectory, cornering speed, acceleration etc).
Super fans dream
Are you not entertained!?😂😂😂 We just watched a jet pack race in Dubai covered with FPV drones.
Heads up display would be a nice touch too. The comment section is full of gold
Real-time Telemetry broadcasting is expensive. As the sport gets popular and gets bigger sponsors, all that will surely be available. An entertaining daredevil can bring more attention to the sport at the expense of safety; like in the early days of Formula 1. 😅
you'd need SOMETHING to make this entertaining. the 'live' racing is a DULL spectator sport. sport LOL
Whaaaaaaat?!?!?! I have been waiting for this for years! Your company's commitment to the advancement of this technology has been an amazing journey to watch.
Watching this with a huge grin as I realize I'm living in the friken future.
I’m ready for this🥷🏾🚀
WOW!! The perfect futuristic backdrop for a futuristic race. I can see this becoming something big!
I have watched you from the beginning. The future is here! Good luck for your continued adventures.
commentator screaming like he's wet his pants does little to disguise the fact that this racing is DULL to watch. this novelty act is a non-starter as a spectator sport................ its future very limited
He's already doing freestyle jetpacking❤❤❤❤
This is WILD. Futuristic. Mind BLOWN! 🤯
Amazing! As a paraglider pilot, I approve of this! 🙌🏼 If this doesn’t get you excited for flying and engineering, then I’ll be darned!
Kudos to Gravity, Richard, the pit crew, the pilots, and the drone folks too!
All around fantastic and thrilling performance! 👏🏻🙌🏼👏🏻🙌🏼👏🏻
pass the darning needle and the darning wool..........................
Super excited to see this!!!! 🔥
This must become a sport. It's less than a minute but it's very intense and basically the dream of every kid.
This must be an annual event with longer flights and obstacles etc.....Congrats to Issa!! 🎉🎉🏆🏆
Don't forget you are somewhat restricted by fuel load
@@popcornshiner3937 Oh yes I understand that too. My hope is that these races will inspire innovation of all kinds, like new fuel types, lightweight equipment etc.
Let The Future Begin! MEGA!! 🔥
Amazing progress.👍
I'm blown away that place wasn't overloaded with spectators watching everywhere.
there's someting about Dubai...they held a pretty wicked car show featuring crazy exotics and even muscle cars flying in car show hosts from the states and there was nobody there.
It's amazing to me that they've developed a jetpack that can survive water landings and fly again, especially in salt water! I wish they'd presented more information on what it takes to keep them in the air, what they do after a water landing, etc.
i imagine a lot of that is proprietary.. it is a very competitive market, and especially so since its in its infancy, where the choice of giving away or *not* giving away just a little tiny bit of information, such as water resistance and how to deal with briefly being submerged can be the difference between getting a huge gov't contract and the company surviving and making lots of money, OR the company losing its competitive advantage to a closely-ranked rival who then uses that bit of info to push their version of the jetpack into the lead position in the market for such a product, costing the first company the opportunity to secure contracts and funding and possibly even leading to its own demise. but who knows...
19:20 best race
6 world record holder xD haha
'best race' says it all ................ even that one was spectating ennui....................
Considering she missed the turn and was still only 2 seconds behind at the finish, I sure wouldn't count her out.
I watched TWO firsts today. Monocycle (electric unicycle) racing at 65 mph and jet pack racing. AWESOME!!!!
WHERE THE HELL WERE THESE WHEN I WAS YOUNG ENOUGH TO RACE? At least I got to race motorbikes in the desert at 120+, maybe I should quit whining!
I just watched the same 2 videos lol.
@@hawk7825 same 😅 the algorithm got us
The years of toil and determination to build the jetpack system is admirable.
Yes there werent jetpacks before this retarded design...
What a time to be alive! Incredible job from all who made it happen.
I didn't even make it 10 seconds into the video before clicking "Subscribe." This is the beginning of a new era... And thanks for helping bring into reality a childhood dream.
DELUDED FANTASIST
@@raymondo162 In the not-too-distant future, when the military has adopted jetpack tech for, say, oceangoing vessel VBSS, or CASEVAC, or any sort of infil/exfil... Think about these "delusional" races, and what part they played in the mfgs unofficial long-term testing & evaluation efforts... and what part it played in helping the gov't gain and build upon its trust in the companies and the technology... And what part this sort of racing played in exposing the tech to the general public, so that they, too, would gain and build upon their trust in the mfgs and the tech involved, further assuring a path to a future where this sort of tech is not only less expensive and more easily available, but more common and trusted by society as a whole... Which means an expansion of potential uses for the tech, beyond the "delusional" appeal of these races as mere entertainment. Besides, there's an almost unending list of creative and innovative scientists, technicians, fabricators, university professors, independent inventors and tinkerers from around the world and throughout history who faced what ultimately amounted to empty criticism, such as the charge of being *delusional*, or of being lost in one's *fantasies*. For these people and others like them, it is important to learn how to block out such meaningless, empty and frankly cowardly criticism. If you ain't got nothing worthwhile to say, then don't say nothin' in the first place.. And I know what a double negative is, thanks. If you insist that what you have to say is worth saying, then please do us all a favor and develop and elaborate your ideas sufficiently, such that a possible conversation could follow. Unless, of course, that was never your desire or intention to begin with.
This is another notch to the future of man and machine racing, congrats to Gravity Industries and team, Dubai and the participants. Looking forward to the next leg.
Don't forget the girl who beat out all the other hundreds of male contenders! Oh wait 🙄
@@farvatronshe was mia after the first run, wondered were she went?
I am soo glad ISSA got that last minute hardware swop, considering how dependent this type of flight is on the amount of weight it is carrying and how much fuel is in the tank, he just powered away from everybody! 😅😂
its about damn time we have jetpack racing!
I hope we have a lot more manufacturers competing against each other.
I always knew Dubai would have something like this someday, and I've been eagerly anticipating it. Now that it's here, I absolutely love it!
Jetpack racing. Finally! Amazing to see those photo finishes. The race between Issa and the founder, a 0.12 second difference. I didn't even think that was possible from watching the first few heats! As a small child in the late 1980's, there wasn't even a video game that could match what's happening IRL here. First thing close would be Pilotwings for SNES in 1991. I love sledding, ziplines, mountain biking & fast ebikes, and flying in planes. I'd love to fly one of these jet suits one day!
Thank you for mentioning Pilotwings! I was trying to think of the name of the game I played on SNES when I was little that I got to use a jetpack in. Memories. I haven't played that game in probably 20 years.
Awesome to see full course racing, really shows this is the ultimate jet pack!
now this is a race i would watch!
Colored smoke exhaust should be added to their suits for visuals...just like airshow displays..we could not see anything on the wide drone shots
Solid idea. Maybe there's a job for you at Gravity...
@@ikemreacts I gladly will like to join their team as a test pilot..if they will have to be
I thought about that. I like the idea, but it would most likely be a impediment to the pilots behind you. A clear visual would be essential to the race. Maybe if they equip lights. That would be less expensive. Less points of failure. No fumes. It will also work at night. That would work for the audiences in attendance and the viewers at home. This sport could be huge.
lol "lets add more weight for pretty colors because my attention span is at toddler levels and i cant concentrate on things that arent overly stimulating"
@@saturationstation1446 What a cynical, stupid comment.
I’m blown away with the performance of the suits and the pilots. Was on the edge of my seat going into the finals. 🤘
I think we are finally living in the future.
Sweet!
They are all like Iron man!😎
AMAZING
This video got slept on hard.
Glad to see Gravity is racing their suit as I had envisioned on IG, after the suit first came out. Now I would love to see PS and Xbox games with fantastic graphics based on the new sport.
Well done Gravity Industry 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The sportsmanship from all the athletes is fantastic to witness. Cheers to all the competitors for putting on a wonderful show!
Here we go!!!!
pity ryan as injured he could have given issa some strong competition.;) looks fun well done issa
Jetpack race!
I never thought I'd see this day. Jetpack racing 👌
Hands down the coolest thing I have ever watched.
You need to get out more
Bravo!
At last! My ten year old dreams have come true. This is epic!
8:16 What a bummer for this girl, she was wayyyyy faster !!!
I hope she will have another chance and no more mistake the next time !!
That’s such a crazy cool sport I LOVE IT, the evolution can be MIND BLOWING 🤯
As an old man, I will stay on the ground and watch these do it. Congrats to all the guys
I'd pay money yo see an old man fly around in a jet suit 😂
Amazing great to see these racing!!! Great trophy too! Looking forward to what the future brings! 👊
This is the coolest technology anyone has blessed the world with in a long time. Humanity has always pined to feel the freedom of personal flight, and these guys made the dream a reality. Truly incredible. And also, Brooks shoes are the freaking best.
AMAZING!!! thank you for that!!!
I cannot wait for this 🤪🤪🤪
She had him
Wow! Amazing! This should be in the Olympics!
totally cool. thank you
Welcome to the future, watching people race jetsuits! Mind Blown! 🤯 Are these people not the first ever jetsuit racers in history?!
the future ?? HA HA HA, this novelty act is a non-starter as a spectator sport................
34:38 Very thin crowd; I would have expected several thousands for such an event 🤨
Sadly, I don't think enough people know about it, it's a real shame with this sort of thing
@@doomgolem5348 I think it's because they didn't advertise the event enough.
This is super new right now
They should do more marketing for the next one, I'm a fan of this company and didn't know about the race until now (10 days late lol)
@@EolosMusic same for me.
This race was amazing, that trophy was awesome.
Super fun to watch! It'd be cool to see the split times for each gate during the race. A bigger crowd would really make for a great atmosphere in the video too. More data all-round would be good - like current / top speed. I also think you need a few more high-up / above-the-action medium-length camera shots, they were the easiest to follow. Would also be cool if you had Replays of the key moments (like overtakes and turns) at the end of the race, where the commentator talks through the replay.
Can't wait for more!
I think if they could do this in America or Europe the crowds would be there. If they have the right sponsors and a solid marketing team, this sport could end up being to the next generation what Nascar and Formula 1 has been for us. I like all of your ideas for on screen data and camera shots. To take this to the next level will cost some big bucks. Unique water courses with obstacles, striking visuals, screens, great locations etc. The backdrop of Dubai is great here, but it's lacking enough engaging visuals in the actual race. It's just something about a jet suit race being filmed with drones in Dubai that seems so futuristic. I feel like I should have been more engaged with this. It's missing the flair that should have made this video go viral.
@@aperson2943 SO basically you spotted that this dull racing is VERY VERY lacking .......... on so many levels
This technology has developed SO much in such a short time! I can’t wait to see where you guys continue to go!
I can’t WAIT to see the future of the broadcasting of these races!
commentator screaming like he's wet his pants does little to disguise the fact that this racing is DULL to watch. this novelty act is a non-starter as a spectator sport................ its future very limited
only 87 years !! so fast !!
Loool!!! There were jetpacks before someone got the idea to mount the jets on the pilots arms.
If this race had more fans maybe like in F1 it will definitely develop much much better and faster, I wish these videos have tens of millions of views
Absolutely incredible! I really hope this video will reach more people. I always love seeing these jetpacks make a bigger impact
Amazing shit!!!!!
I think Gravity should reach out to the boys at the Storror parkour channel for a collab.
They are UK lads. Young, fit and very athletic and would be well suited for learning how to use the Gravity jetpacks in a short period of time.
They also have a massive channel with millions of subscribers of mostly young people so it would be a great challenge for the lads and amazing exposure for Gravity.
Imagine one running to the edge of a building and just front flipping off and flying 😂
I saw Richard flying his jet suit years ago, I'm so pleased he finally magaged to get the racing underway, and what a great race it was. Awesome fun. God bless
You ALWAYS go to the winner first
unbelievable! straight out of a movie😎
I think In few years we'll see people flying in iron man suits
Best thing, EVER!
The future is now! Great job! 💪🏻🚀
YESSS! NOW WE CAN MAKE QUIDDITCH A REAL SPORT!
That was fucking amazing! The future is here
So cool to see the inventor and owner of the jet suit & Gravity racing out there with him!
33:35 that is the coolest race start I have ever seen
Today, in the year 2049, the 25th jet suit race! The record now stands at 14 seconds! Can you imagine 2024? the first race was 39 seconds! it was so slow!
I'm here for the future generation to see my comment
I'm here as witness for the future generation to see your comment
I am here to say Hi to both of you old generation people.
Me too
Well I'm 11 daz into the future and its not looking too good...
It won't last with these kind of views 😂
Watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬. This was incredible. Congratulations to you all and the winner Issa Kalfon 👍👍👍
I witnessed very early versions of jet pack flying and seeing this is absolutely amazing how far this has come. Well folks…great racing
This was really cool! But the camera work SUCKED!!!!
Everything has a beginning... I'm happy I witnessed the first.
It’s a fraud
I wonder if Shiva Inu (not Shiba but the darker cooler one) will be a future sponsor 🚀
This is such the beginning we’re seeing jet packs that are the equivalent to the bulky VCR’s of the 70’s the sport is going to get much lighter and much faster
Pushing the envelope to this point and all the applications for daily tasks. Awesome!! 🏅🏅🏅
This is what the world's oil is buying. 🙄
No. But cry about it anyway.
@@cjcoleman3893
Rebuttal or stfu!
Lol...Like 99% of things in your home... 🤡🥴🥴🥴
Funny how the Arab dude was the only one who crashed in the water, as is the case with the rest of his people. they may have the money, but they have zero skills.
Absolutely awesome!
Had a HUGE SMILE on my face the entire video. Thank you everyone involved! Watching from Outback country Western Australia
Really really cool. Can't wait for this to become more developed
We made it to the future with this one ladies and gentlemen. The jetsons bout to become live action before our very eyes
That was incredibly fun and good racing! I loved every second of it! This is the sport to watch and see grow!
Mad respect for these pilots. There have to be some pretty significant unknowns in this new adventure.
Thank you for the jetpacks - it feels more like the 21st century now. On to flyings cars next please?
