Silly, especially when you consider that some poor sod needs to go up there and scrape him up one day. *-)

Still, it was spectacular :agree:

I was impressed with the great stability and fine control of his final approach to the hole...I'm not sure what they use for control surfaces but at that speed it could easily have just been a finger on each hand :)

Jeeeeeez. That's amazing :-O

I've always wondered how these extreme sports experts ever survive to become so skilled. How come, over the years of pushing the envelope, from being unskilled to this level of skill, do you not make one little error that either kills or cripples you? I'm glad I wasn't born with this need to challenge danger. I saw that movie, 127 hours, the other day. Unbelievable.

Thanks for the link, Peter.

WOW!


I did that once. :agree:






Like Dave, saw something similar, that is.
This one is clearly recent [2013]
Cheers, Mike.
