No hoses, no wires, it goes over 90mph and goes up to nearly 10k feet. And it works on bloody water!

Oh, oh, but it's not a backpack, you don't strap it on your back, yadda, yadda, yadda.
No, it's not. But only because it's an actual, honest to dog jet-powered-flying-skateboard. It doesn't just do what the hoverboards from BTTF2 did - it works on water! Almost two miles up in the air! And it's so damn fast, all you need is a damn flux capacitor and some plutonium, and BAM! Burning streak in the sky, and you're going to hook up with your own mother and shit! 88 miles per hour, pah!
And you don't have to mess around, strapping some monstrous contraption to your back like some pleb. You stand on it, dignified and shit! You could use this with a top-hat and coat-tails, perhaps a martini in one hand! So that's better!

I didn't click the link, but what's it run on and what's the range?

From what I gather, it runs on jet-fuel and he has set a official, Guinness-Book distance-record of just about 1.4 miles.

I can see the future, and it contains my death.... Via an air-board and stupidity....
