I had total insomnia last night, flipping through channels at 5:30 am today I caught this. Pretty sick stuff.

especially cool how they crash on the other side... really shows how much control they got.

Jeeze Phil,

Not like you to post like a total twit...?

Was it Mr. Bob who said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

The wind shadow Phil...that thing they just jumped over is upwind of them, and err...is blocking the wind...

but yeah, they could have stayed up longer, but is that really what is noteworthy here?

no biggie

Nearly as much worldwide coverage as that doinker in Florida a while back, but more in a FOOKIN ELL THATS INCREDIBLE kinda way to the average joe.

I kind of agree more with clankin nads view of it than the brainless twit side of it, but there's definetly elements of both in it.

What would be a gorge equivalent? Alex jumping off that cliff thing is close.

The only topper here would be boostin a barge. Maybe that flat fishling one.

Whatdaya say Sean Sean??
