Crazy Rocketman looks like Santa Claus — but in flannel and a rocket-fueled sleigh. Watch him blast off on his ‘steampunk’ bike.

This jet bike may not sound super intimidating, but it does pack a wallop on the tarmac. Watch Crazy Rocketman (aka Robert Maddox) push the bike to its limits on the desert flats.
