I watched Shark Tank last night and I saw "The Pitch" it's pretty much like a water ski in the air. I was thinking I would consider doing it....80 bucks? Not bad.

 
No bites.

Typically they pass on things that have a limited customer base. There might a few hundred who buy one of these things. From an investment standpoint it is not a good deal. But Wyp did get a lot of free publicity out of this, including getting guest Richard Branson to stand on it.
 
What could go wrong... even in an air tunnel, it looks like it could whip around and bash you into the cement. How do you disengage from the plane? Just let go and glide in or do you get towed to a landing?
 
Dang, it would have been nice to see Mark Cuban test fly one.
