Yeah that is a pretty sick vid. I would love to see how they fared after jumping the cliff though.

Do you think that cliff jump was real?

Eli would probably know, maybe he will check out the video. He's tight with the GI guys.

Huge balls if the cliff jump is real.
Actually, huge balls either way.

That video is absolutely extreme, but the cliff jump may be rigged a bit - even so, it's amazing display of scenery and talent. I'm going to attempt to attach a pic that would help to show how this video has been aided by the use of a helicopter.

On another message board, Akoni Kama made the comment below about the attached pic (hopefully) in a thread titled "Heli tow in done":

"A overseas commercial, that shot was after I just got towed off a 800 foot cliff overlooking waipio valley, I am admiring the view."
