The best class ever!

This morning I had the best class ever. It was my engineering class, and we had to meet on the football field, but our teacher didn't say why. Well, when we got out there, I guy was riding around on a hovercraft. He gave a really long demonstration of what you could do with it, and it was really interesting to see something like that in person. After he was done, I actually got to ride on it with him, and it was the coolest thing ever, way better than any boat, motorcycle, jetski, or ATV.

Has anyone else seen a hovercraft in operation or get a chance to ride one?

I remember once seeing someone ride one of those around down the hall in the science building. I dont know what class it was for though.
Was it a hand made one or made out of durable materials?

And have you ever been on a boat, ATV, motorcycle, and Jetski? If you did, I really think you would have a different opinion.

I haven't seen one in person. Sound like a great time. I would like to someday but i don't see that happening anytime soon.

Yes, I have been on all of those, and this was better. Trust me, a giant racing hovercraft is much better.

Yeah, it just started this semester. If you would've walked past the football field during zero or 1st period you would have seen it.

Awesome! My school, uh, instead of hovercrafts, we had a fatty truck spinnin donuts in it. I could care less about the field and it was hillarious.

Coolest thing I did at my school? Proabobly the elementary school tour by our band, or homecoming. Yeah, homecoming. We had a huge float with our band on top. It was awesome! Everything except when my teacher slammed on the brakes and I went flying. That was awesome! I fell and totally landed on my hip, I was trying to save my instrument, a few other people fell over too. One guy fell into the drumset.
