Many people find skiing a thrilling enough experience even without a jetpack attached to their back.

However, Filip Flisar, a ski-cross world champion, is the proud owner of a jetpack that can hit 96,000 rpm and generate temperatures above 1,500 Degrees Fahrenheit.

So when he realized he was running late for his mother’s dinner in a recent video by Red Bull, Flisar found a unique way to make sure he made it to her house in time.

Watch as Flisar skis down a mountain, over a soccer field, across a bridge, and into his hometown of Maribor, Slovenia, where startled onlookers watch on as his jetpack propels him to speeds reaching as high as 75 mph.

When is the next race?
