“Running at up to 96,000rpm and producing a jet blast that reaches temperatures up to 850°C, Flisar’s James Bond-style contraption packs quite a punch – 40kg of thrust to be precise – and can propel him to speeds north of 120kph.”

I’m just wondering if Slovenian ski-cross world champion Filip Flisar saw my post about ThrustMe and dropped this edit just to put himself back on top of the heap? Whatever the case, watching Filip rip around his hometown of Maribor, Slovenia is well worth the watch.

Who is more James Bond: Filip or ThrustMe?
