A British company called Dreamscience Propulsion thinks it has found the next big extreme sports accessory: jet engines that you hold in your hands.

The electric thrusters, which are attached to a pole that the rider holds in front of them, can get you up to speeds of 50 miles per hour on flat snow.

PopSci posted a video of Dreamscience testing it out, and it's pretty wild.
