    I guess jumping out of a perfectly good airplane isn’t dangerous enough for some people, they gotta throw in the obstacle course of death into the equation. Forget that!

    The first guy to faceplant into the side of a mountain from doing this, will that be referred to as a tragedy, or an “I told you so you friggin’ Moran”?

    That looks like a fuck of a lot of fun, for the stout-hearted.

    It’s about as close to flying as you can get.

    Very cool. I would guess that it was shot in New Zealand.

    Just watch out for that stray gust of wind.

    This video has been around for a couple of years. Although this may be an updated version. It is still very cool to watch.

    Looks like a fun last thing to do. I’d still rather feed a tiger.

    #7 – hhopper,

    It’s about as close to flying as flying squirrels get too.

    At the 2 minute mark, it is amazing to see how fast he goes by the edge of the road.

    I see an idea for a chase scene, in an upcoming James Bond movie, in the works.

    [Excellent idea. - ed.]

    “This is actually pretty amazing and exciting to watch.”

    “Oh that is so cool!!”

    “That is an impressive valley!”

    “That looks like a fuck of a lot of fun, for the stout-hearted.”

    “I saw this a wile ago, looks fun as hell wish i had the $ to do it”

    “Very cool.”

    “Looks like a fun last thing to do.”

    “…it is amazing to see how fast he goes by the edge of the road.”

    Then some moran said, “This is repackaged old news.”

    I saw this video about a year ago. It might be “repackaged old news,” but it’s still amazing. I think the flyers come very close to Darwining themselves several times, especially the guy that passes the hairpin turn way too close.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again… “If you haven’t seen it before, it’s not old.” Most of the stuff on the Internet is old.
