Bubba is so involved with the jet pack that he doesn't even get to drive it....

I'm sure it will speed rounds up greatly. After buckling up, putting on your helmet, starting the engine.... What a great idea that is

His watch costs more than the jetpack. What a life.

this is the worst waste of money i have ever scene. you know what would actually make oakley money...sponsoring more high level players and getting them to wear their brand.

I want to see him actually try to fly it instead of talking about it. That would be a "game changer."

I highly doubt that Oakley is hurting for money. Don't think this thing came about as a way for them to increase profits.

The jet pack already existed they just helped design the golf club carrier for it.

This cost Oakley nothing as I'm sure the company that make the jet pack was happy to get some screen time by being associated with Bubba and Oakley.

Yeah...Oakley is owned by Luxottica which practically has a monopoly on the eyewear industry.
