I feel your pain. There was that threshold that you learned to stretch and enjoy, at times you got bumped and bruised (some of us a bit worse) but thought nothing of it. Now adays you probably feel those moments every day just a little bit, even more the older you get. :) I can't remember what I did, but at times I do something that reminds me of what I did and it's happy time.
I would probably still do that even to this day, hell I would even get into serious shape to do it, But I don't think I would fly that close to ANYTHING.
THINK ABOUT IT...the guy probably flew that route a bunch of times and had helicopter footage etc. And then eventually got the guts to fly a certain pattern.
Now imagine that overnight wind, a bird, rot, animal climbing etc - bends a tree branch down to an area that he didn't expect -
THAT would hurt!. I think these guys use the chute as a false sense of security, when you are going sideways toward a wall, a chute is only going to cover some of the guts so that it's still youtubable. :)

I didn't even push play. Got to the paused picture at the beginning & closed it. I'm too much of a wimp to watch stuff like that. ;)

That video was posted on here a couple weeks ago. There's a few more really good ones floating around youtube and vimeo.
I'm hoping to try doing this, at the beginner level, next summer or fall (2010).
Btw there's a video on youtube of one of them getting too close to the cliff, opening their chute, and crashing. Getting saved by getting entangled in a tree on the cliff side with only a broken leg. They helicopter him out.

I think this is the fourth time in about two years this has been posted BUT this is the best quality video of it yet.

I've seen that video before. I told my wife I wanted to take up the sport and she wasn't impressed. :lol

yea those videos are awesome and you want to try it, right up until your stumble across the one of the guy hitting the bridge and getting ripped in half. :uhoh

You think those are amazing. Watch the video of Joe Kittenger! Google him. He is insane has the biggest cojones ever! :salute
