  • On this episode of Somebody's Gotta Do It, Mike Rowe gets his feet wet on a flyboard, an incredible invention that allows you to use the water jet from a jetski to fly above the surface of the water. A lot of fun is to be had by watching this episode of Somebody's Gotta Do It.

    You can't say the man doesn't give everything his best effort.
    He has to be the best at controlling his fears, and with everything he's done crazy as far as average people think
    He's had to convince himself he's King Kong, and nothing can go wrong on many occasions.
    Long live Mike Rowe the man the myth, the legend in his own time, because I know no one else who has done everything he's done.
    Stay safe, and keep living life to its fullest.
