Called the 'Sprint', the focus with the kids' JetBoarder was safety first and fun second, in a new experience for kids aged 12-16. Our SPRINT Model achieves this plus more advises Chris Kanyaro. "We want to give kids the opportunity to enjoy the latest craze taking the world by storm" in a controlled and safe environment.

"Safety first is our main priority," assured Chris. "There are myriad safety features onboard, which ensure kids can operate the JetBoarder in the safest way possible. We were reluctant to make the product available to 12-14 year olds, but under strict adult supervision, and operated in the correct manner, The JetBoarder SPRINT is a fun, safe new experience for kids to try."

The safety features are unlike anything on any other craft in the market;

- A Standard Kill Switch Lanyard with a button control as opposed to traditional key makes it easy to insert the kill switch and a Safety Lanyard is also fitted similar in concept to a surfboard legrope. Both are steel coil re-inforced.
- GPS tracker, which provides 'real time' tracking on computers, phones, Google or PDAs.
- Geo Fence feature which alarms when they leave a certain perimeter
- SOS feature if they require assistance
- Rider shoes
- 2-way communication helmet
- Engine Heat Shield, plus numerous other safety features ensure that the JetRider is safe at all times.

The SPRINT complements our existing line of products. It opens JetBoarding up into a fun, interactive family activity. Holiday house, motor yacht, or just a new family toy, the JetBoarder range is sure to excite. The SPRINT will be smaller, lighter, less powerful, and priced accordingly.

For more information or to see the Sprint visit one of our growing network of dealers around the world. Or join us on our 2011 world tour.

Splitsville for boron nitride nanotubes

Splitsville for boron nitride nanotubes
2011-06-28
For Hollywood celebrities, the term "splitsville" usually means "check your prenup." For scientists wanting to mass-produce high quality nanoribbons from boron nitride nanotubes, "splitsville" could mean "happily ever after." Scientists with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley, working with scientists at Rice University, have developed a technique in which boron nitride nanotubes are stuffed with atoms of potassium until the tubes split open along a longitudinal seam. This creates defect-free boron nitride ...

Chemical produced in pancreas prevented and reversed diabetes in mice

2011-06-28
TORONTO, Ont., June 28, 2011—A chemical produced by the same cells that make insulin in the pancreas prevented and even reversed Type 1 diabetes in mice, researchers at St. Michael's Hospital have found. Type 1 diabetes, formerly known as juvenile diabetes, is characterized by the immune system's destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas that make and secrete insulin. As a result, the body makes little or no insulin. The only conventional treatment for Type 1 diabetes is insulin injection, but insulin is not a cure as it does not prevent or reverse the loss of ...

Can soda tax curb obesity?

2011-06-28
EVANSTON, Ill. --- To many, a tax on soda is a no-brainer in advancing the nation's war on obesity. Advocates point to a number of studies in recent years that conclude that sugary drinks have a lot to do with why Americans are getting fatter. But obese people tend to drink diet sodas, and therefore taxing soft drinks with added sugar or other sweeteners is not a good weapon in combating obesity, according to a new Northwestern University study. An amendment to Illinois Senate Bill 396 would add a penny an ounce to the cost of most soft drinks with added sugar or sweeteners, ...

Inkjet printing could change the face of solar energy industry

2011-06-28
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Inkjet printers, a low-cost technology that in recent decades has revolutionized home and small office printing, may soon offer similar benefits for the future of solar energy. Engineers at Oregon State University have discovered a way for the first time to create successful "CIGS" solar devices with inkjet printing, in work that reduces raw material waste by 90 percent and will significantly lower the cost of producing solar energy cells with some very promising compounds. High performing, rapidly produced, ultra-low cost, thin film solar electronics ...

Silver pen has the write stuff for flexible electronics

Silver pen has the write stuff for flexible electronics
2011-06-28
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The pen may have bested the sword long ago, but now it's challenging wires and soldering irons. University of Illinois engineers have developed a silver-inked rollerball pen capable of writing electrical circuits and interconnects on paper, wood and other surfaces. The pen is writing whole new chapters in low-cost, flexible and disposable electronics. Led by Jennifer Lewis, the Hans Thurnauer professor of materials science and engineering at the U. of I., and Jennifer Bernhard, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, the team published ...

Improved stepladder design may decrease injuries

2011-06-28
Stepladders, a household product used by thousands of people every day, are a surprisingly common cause of injury. In 2009, more than 187,000 Americans visited the hospital after sustaining stepladder injuries, many of which resulted from a fall. A recent human factors/ergonomics study explores how improved design and user behavior can decrease the likelihood of future accidents. In their upcoming HFES 55th Annual Meeting presentation, "The Role of Human Balance in Stepladder Accidents," HF/E researchers Daniel Tichon, Lowell Baker, and Irving Ojalvo review research ...

Jackson Pollock, artist and physicist?

2011-06-28
Cambridge, Mass. - June 28, 2011 - At a glance, a painting by Jackson Pollock (1912󈞤) can look deceptively accidental: just a quick flick of color on a canvas. A quantitative analysis of Pollock's streams, drips, and coils, by Harvard mathematician L. Mahadevan and collaborators at Boston College, reveals, however, that the artist had to be slow—he had to be deliberate—to exploit fluid dynamics in the way that he did. The finding, published in Physics Today, represents a rare collision between mathematics, physics, and art history, providing new insight into ...

Van Andel Research Institute finding could lead to reduced side effects in anti-cancer antibiotics

2011-06-28
Grand Rapids, Mich. (June 28, 2011) – Most of us have had a doctor prescribe an antibiotic for a stubborn bacterial infection, or for a cut that gets infected. However, prescribing an antibiotic to fight cancer? In fact, anti-cancer antibiotics have been used since the 1950s to successfully treat several forms of cancer, but often the side effects limit the duration they can be given to a patient. One particularly promising anti-cancer antibiotic is Geldanamycin and a modified form of this drug known as 17AAG. Despite its proven ability to selectively kill many ...

Study shows climate change makes some chemicals more toxic to aquatic life

2011-06-28
Some areas of the southern United States are suffering from the longest dry spell since 1887 and a new Baylor University study shows that could prove problematic for aquatic organisms. The Baylor study found that drought conditions make some chemicals in the environment more toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Specifically, the study found that drought conditions exacerbate the magnitudes of the natural pH shifts in the water. This is important, the researchers said, because some contaminants in the water, such as ammonia, are more toxic to aquatic life depending on ...

Leading West Virginia Districts Find Innovative Ways to Train Staff with SafeSchools' Award-Winning System, Delivering Essential Staff Training in Kanawha and Wood County Schools

2011-06-28
West Virginia administrators are making the most of their budget dollars by finding innovative solutions that streamline processes and increase efficiency in their districts. One cost-saving measure includes finding more cost-effective ways to conduct staff training, which has historically been done during in-service days, in a group setting. While effective in years past, this method takes teachers out of the classroom and can be quite expensive. As districts look to maximize budgets, Kanawha County Schools and Wood County Schools are leading the way by taking their staff ...
