For some strange reason, I think that the personal flying machine is the most improbable. I daresay that gliders with as little surface area as those would barely (if at all) get you to the ground from a cliff. Going up and down at would be impossible.

The personal waterwheel raft could possibly work if you added a float on each side to keep your balance.

The moving pavement is just plain loony. Possible, but there are multiple better and cheaper alternatives.
