----------------------------------------
As Filip says:
Skiing fast with a jetpack in an open field is one thing, blasting across asphalt, granite steps and icy concrete in the middle of the main square proved to be a totally different story
----------------------------------------

The back pack get some modifications, for better force angle, safety issues etc!
The Jet tubine survive all the speed, some crash tests, only below zerro temperatures
was a bit problematic to start the engine! All in all two days in Maribor with RedBull team and Flisar,
again unforgettable!

Enjoy the life

Sking With A Jetpack

We use the Alu frame back pack, with the CFK/AFK main plate, add the 1300°C tex to prevent over heating, the turbine cover and spoilers for better air flow! The engine is Titan from AMT Jets Netherlands, with 95K rpm, 40kg constant push and 850deg C exhaust temperature!
