where do I see the one where he ends up in the tree?
Possibly the homes is piloting the foil and nailing all of those ledges and crap on purpose. Dunno. Made my mouth a little dry though.

That does look like fun in good conditions...in a ski resort or on a snowfield. However The Eiger, where that first vid was taken, is about as far from the right conditions as you can get. Stupid crazy only scratches the surface...
| Quote: | The Eiger is a mountain in the Alps of Switzerland. It is the easternmost peak of a ridge crest that extends to the Mönch (4,099 m) and across the Jungfraujoch to the Jungfrau (4,158 m). The peak is mentioned in records dating back to the 13th century but there is no clear indication of how exactly the peak gained its name. The three mountains of the ridge are sometimes referred to as the Virgin (Jungfrau), Monk (Mönch) and Ogre (Eiger). The name has been linked to the Greek term akros meaning "sharp" or "pointed", but more commonly to the German eigen, meaning characteristic.
The spectacular north face of the Eiger towers over 1,800 m (5,900 ft) above the valley in the Bernese Oberland below and has claimed the lives of many climbers attempting to conquer this difficult face. A portion of the upper face is called "The White Spider", as snow filled cracks radiating from an ice-field resemble the legs of a spider. |

Sol-Flyer,
Who'd ya buy it through? What'd it cost ya? I couldn't find a link on gingliders site for pricing or an online store. Looked up an online foil retailer, but had to e-mail them to request pricing.
I agree that this looks like a lot of fun, probably on a resort w/ ski patrol and a medical staff.
