Improvement on French Guy's Air Board (with vid link)
So some French guy did some airboard thing and it's been getting some attention.
In the article I linked, the inventor mentions that it is painful for your legs to use because you're fighting the air currents. And for some reason he decided to ride it with a rifle. OK, so it struck me -- an obvious improvement upon it: Make it a flying seat. See, having a painful ride is a serious design flaw. And what would you prefer, to stand or to sit? To sit, of course. It's much more preferable than standing -- anyone who's been to a bar mitzvah knows. Also, anyone who knows anything about shooting knows that a seated position is much more stable for firing than a standing position -- especially if you're whooshing around at velocity. #improvements - 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0- 0 * - < <739610877-3104-376.101077-1106.75103739110792103.108-5'92.9410776.> - 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0- 0 * - < Last bumped on Jul 20, 2019, 5:02:51 AM

good luck trying to keep your balance while seated, think that would be nearly impossible unless gyroscopes were built-in to help balance it out, but that would then also take part of the fun out.
your legs are pretty good at balancing, your arse ain't ;) having used his flyboards, the balancing and controlling the thing through pretty much your balance alone is a big part of the thrill and what makes you think you are friggin iron man :) |

while you mentioned le french:
don´t forget to add the rear-mirrors to your flying canapeé, very usefull for keeping the frontline in sight. #militaryjokes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drDs-Y5DNH8

being seating is dangerous, not only because of balance but while standing your legmuscles will take most of the brunt from forces. While sitting your spine will take it. have fun with that :/
