Those jetpack keeps making me dream, is it the duke nukem effect ?
He could add some chili bad cooked to make himself a inside boost pack, just got to squeeze to let the nitro go...

Sorry, but not believable. That's just a cappuccino maker strapped on his back with button from grandmas lamp switch. When he "holds" the camera, he is actually holding onto a vehicle that is propelling him forward. And the sound is constant no matter the distance from the camera.

#4 absolutely agree with you. BTW, there should be some flares/smoke or anything be visible behind him, and I really doubt anyone would make a real vid of this kin without showing a closeup look of that "jetpack".
But than again, it already fooled the first three.

It's perfectly real guys.
Here's an interview of him with the jet if you're interested:

Adds a new dimension of excitement to cross-country skiing, but kind of trashes the peaceful, back-to-nature aspects, doesn't it?

It's the same pose as using a french toilet (hole in the ground), same sounds too I might say.

#4 real or fake... your suggestions are so wrong... he hold onto another vehicle that don't cast a shadow in the snow as he does himself?
The sound is constant... maybe the sound didn't come from an internal mic from the camera but a mic on the jetpack guy himself... seeing as we hear sound through all the times where we only see from an onboard cam.
Conclusion = your statement is WRONG!

@ #10 Yea can you imagine a whole ski resort being taken over by these things? It would sound like an airport with jets all revving their engines up. Plus some idiot would probably lose control and run into a group at 50 mph. Still it looks like fun.
