IN THE WIND P32 HOVERSURF HOVERBIKE IS THE MOST LETHAL THING YET I f motorcycles and living are just too boring for you, we might have the solution. This is the Scorpion-3, designed by Russian drone manufacturer Hoversurf. The machine uses four helicopter-style blades, two at each end of the vehicle, to lift you away from terra firma and onto the path of what appears to be certain and catastrophic pain, although maybe we're be- ing a bit cautious. The company wants to build an "extreme sports instrument" for your riding/flying pleasure. No doubt they got the "extreme" part of the brief correct, but we'll wait until they at least put a cover on the blades before we take up the hoverbike challenge. Approach with caution… CN 2017 AMA SUPERMOTO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED U nder the direction of new series promoter DRT Racing, the 2017 AMA Supermoto National Champi- onship Series is ready to kick off.
