Might have to watch that (if I'm not building wing ribs). Love his "Grindin the Crack" Youtube clip (mainly due to the soundtrack .. Sail is a great song). Should be an interesting show (worse comes to worse I'll program the Tbox to record it. Thanks for the heads up.

I soooo want to do wing suit flying.

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Yes me too, but I sooo don't want to impact solid rocks at 150 mph + not character-building at all.....!!!!!!!

 

Must say though that I was impressed with his 'threading the needle...that took some gonads !...........generally though I feel that the lad just simply has had way too much Red Bull !!...........................................................................................Maj...

Downloaded it on iTunes straightaway- that and Powerstruggle from the Sth Africa clip as well. Great music. Remember the Wrights were "lunatics" in their day as well......

 

We owe flight to the many lunatics that dared to dream....
