this looks absolutely like a major rush!!!! would be fun just to try it once in your lifetime.

the music is cool and watch how close he comes to the side of the mountains and trees all traveling over 100mph in a free fall.

That is just cooler than snot - but my cajones aren't big enough to try that.

And that comes from a life-long motorcyclist and hang glider pilot.

I don't think I would want to get that close to any ground or sides of mountains but to just be able to glide around like that in those surroundings would be spectacular...

Do a search for " dwain weston bridge " and you'll see why the sport is something you don't want to take up. I prefer sports where I'm allowed to make mistakes cause sooner or later one's going to happen.

looks like he misjudged the distance to the bridge pretty bad there
