@@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.

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.
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! 😅😂
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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 :-)
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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 🤯

Imagine if this sport becomes more competitive like motorsports, what would the racing lines look like and what would the flying posture and technique look like as they try to really optimize their speed.
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).
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. 😅
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.
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.

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!
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 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
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.
@@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.
Awesome ! Flat Power !!! Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris at the center of our Plane. If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose.
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...
this information is owned by gov, as it always is. and these jetpacs are allowed to be operated in public simply coz it is an old tech. if they would replace petrol with water or magnetic charge or invent a new type of fuel gov would shut them down immediately and this race would never happen, if it is happening means tech is old.
that was mind blowing and super exciting to watch, im hooked on this new sport. Never would I have imagined that we would be watching Jetpack racing on TV. This is going to be huge!! well done pilots
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
Really fun to watch! I can see this becoming very popular, I'll definitely be watching out for more of this. Been following this channel since the start!
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.
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.
Amazing as the first race ever. Many tweaks and improvements need to be done with presentation. I love the drone shots. The race track could use more signs and visible boundaries. I would love to see someday more contestants and longer races with pit-stops to replace fuel modules and quick repairs. This was a great start of a new sport.

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
Incredible!! I just witnessed history. A Wright Bro event!
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!
I've been waiting for this for 50 years! Exciting to see where this sport will grow in the next 20 years!
you should buy one of them
We need more of this! Great performance, all.
Amazing progress.👍
Awesome, you feel the adrenaline just watching on screen imagine being there, great fun and excitement, best of luck and I cannot wait for next time.
I’m ready for this🥷🏾🚀
Can't believe what I've witnessed! This is gonna be huge! Amazing sport, event and production by Gravity
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 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Pushing the envelope to this point and all the applications for daily tasks. Awesome!! 🏅🏅🏅
He's already doing freestyle jetpacking❤❤❤❤
That was incredible, I loved it absolutely....congratulations Issa Kalfon and all four racers 👏👏👏👏👏
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.
fr man, i wanna race along side them one day
Awesome ! Flat Power !!! Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris at the center of our Plane. If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose.
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...
this information is owned by gov, as it always is. and these jetpacs are allowed to be operated in public simply coz it is an old tech. if they would replace petrol with water or magnetic charge or invent a new type of fuel gov would shut them down immediately and this race would never happen, if it is happening means tech is old.
that was mind blowing and super exciting to watch, im hooked on this new sport. Never would I have imagined that we would be watching Jetpack racing on TV. This is going to be huge!! well done pilots
Hands down the coolest thing I have ever watched.
You need to get out more
Love this! Super exciting to watch! Ace kit! Good job guys!
I’m blown away with the performance of the suits and the pilots. Was on the edge of my seat going into the finals. 🤘
This was breathtaking! Just the first ever race, i can imagine how this looks after a year or 5!
now this is a race i would watch!
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.
Just the beginning of faster and better suits. Dam tech has come along way in 10yrs. The people of Dubai really know how to make an impact.
pity ryan as injured he could have given issa some strong competition.;) looks fun well done issa
Gotta imagine Stan Lee is smiling from his grave as humanity races around real life Ironman suits. Simply amazing.
Sweet!
They are all like Iron man!😎
LOVE IT need more of this!!!
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................
Really fun to watch! I can see this becoming very popular, I'll definitely be watching out for more of this. Been following this channel since the start!
This video got slept on hard.
Great race! Congrats to the winner Issa. 👌🎉🔥
That was awesome! Now I want one for myself! Congrats Issa and Everybody!!!
AMAZING
I can’t stop sharing this video with people! This is the future, and I wanna try this so bad!!
That trophy is the most Dubai thing ever!
Amazing times! This definitely deserves more exposure!
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 😂
Here we go!!!!
that trophy, wow. hope to see more of that in the future
19:20 best race
6 world record holder xD haha
'best race' says it all ................ even that one was spectating ennui....................
Wow! Amazing! This should be in the Olympics!
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 😂
No this is where future begins…..spent time in Dubai and loved it.
Amazing shit!!!!!
''thank you gravity industries for this wonderful,fantastic and incredible performance in jet suit race.
.
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.
@@ARealPersonNotABot SO basically you spotted that this dull racing is VERY VERY lacking .......... on so many levels
Thank you for the jetpacks - it feels more like the 21st century now. On to flyings cars next please?
unbelievable! straight out of a movie😎
That was amazing i cant believe what i just watched WOW i wish i was 30years younger. BRILLIANT WELL DONE👏👏👌👌
She had him
This is really cool 😎 enjoying every minute of it
I cannot wait for this 🤪🤪🤪
Amazing as the first race ever. Many tweaks and improvements need to be done with presentation. I love the drone shots. The race track could use more signs and visible boundaries. I would love to see someday more contestants and longer races with pit-stops to replace fuel modules and quick repairs. This was a great start of a new sport.
