Definitely insane! The minute mark you were talking about was totally nuts!

Love watching these guys!

Didn't that guys best friend die hitting a bridge? Pretty sure it was, they jumped together and he made it under the bridge, his buddy smacked right into it!

Well at least they accept the danger and stare it right down!

I have been trying to find the video where he flies thru the archway over a pedestrian path?

HOLY GIANT FLYING SQUIRRELS BATMAN!!!!! I have though it would be great to try the suits but what these guys are doing is nuts. A sudden change in air pressure or wind and its SPLAT.... Still pretty amazing to see what some people will do. Sign me up for the base jumping though....

I'm really curious...how do they get so close and NOT hit. I'm assuming they do a lot of math calculations and wind, etc. Or do they actually have plenty of room but just change their flight characteristics in flight and at the last moment to make themselves get closer? Anyone know or care to speculate?

Crazy stuff though...Looks fun but I think I'll stick with kiteboarding :yes:

I don't know for sure, but maybe the balloons are to mark his route, and give a visual as to what the wind is doing at that point? Maybe to also mark where the photographer was? All I could think of was, man if he hit that guy, they both would have exploded!

I am betting he flew that a few times, altering course and scoping out "sweet spots" each time..

Larry, I know what video you're talking about, seen it a couple of times myself. There is also a video of the ski/parasail guys going through the same spot! Totally nuts, miss that one by much and they scrape you off the rocks!
