that's a good one! and some serious dingle dangling

has anyone seen the guy that jumps out of a helicopter above the same sort of mountain range while wearing a special flyingfox type jumpsuit, and glides only a couple of metres accross the peaks and ridges of the mountains? I saw it about 12 months back on a youtube type site. It was awesome and is really worth seeing if u can find it

I think there was a segment on Warren Miller's Storm. Just insane.

that ski flying is a sport in the USA, they set up a slalom course and do timed runs. It was on "greatest sports disasters" a guy clipped a mogul with his ass and broke his back, he sufferd paraplegia as a result.

The first guy is not a kiter. He is paragliding.
Only about a metre or 2 between him and the canopy. He's closer to a parachuter or hang glider.
Kites have 25m lines.

Thats pretty intence, he must have nads of steel for that,
if we stack its water for us, if he stacks its loads of pointy
sharp rocks to land on..
