Fun things to spot:
We see him straddle the bike but then it cuts to a helmet view already in flight.
We never see it take off or land.
Some shots will show movement of foliage underneath the bike reacting to air blasts on a rather violent scale indicating powerful jets.
Most shots show little to no foliage reaction.
Camera speed tricks and overlaid sound effects to make it look like it moves fast.
Bike is actually quite slow, like it is on a flying rig OR a zipline as we never see it turn in the forest, just a straight path with nothing poking into the flight path and a very clean and clear path on the ground below it.
Bike only turns to the right. When it is shown turning, it is very slowly moving forward and turning.
Very high altitude with no visible safety gear.
Height of flight is in line with most ziplines height.
His scout trooper uniform is incomplete and inaccurate.
Pic included to show they have a moveable zipline rig for it during an earlier stage in the build. Alleged burn marks from the jets on the plywood however a fairly noticable unburned mark under the unit where the blast would be expected. Also of note, a similar bit of burn by the hand of the lady pointing at the unit. We see no trace of any air intakes for a jet engine. We see no smoke/carbon build up indicating a jet in use that would produce the scorched marks underneath it. While there are small jet engines that could fit in something this size, they require a healthy air intake to work and can gobble down fuel at 1/3 gallon per minute depending on thrust. Motorcycle fuels tanks hold 2-3.5 gallons of fuel. This seems to have a small fuel tank so maybe 2.5 gallon capacity. Not much flight time if this was real.
The old Bell Jet Pack could fly for roughly 12 minutes and the Rocket Pack version could fly for roughly 15 seconds.
