How do you get up the balls to try something like that! Shit my pants just
watching that video! Incredible, talk about relying on your equipment.

Not taking anything away from the man who is obviously very skilled and has massive balls, he did mention that he takes a parachute with him in case anything goes wrong.

seen it on FB. This guy is out of his mind, even with a parachute there are so many things that can go wrong here.
Still nice to watch :P

Imagine the crossings you could do! Cross one mt to the other. If you cant traverse anymore climb and fly across the canyon to the next peak. I wish they would make a kite reinforced for flying. A water kite that is. That guy is crazy! But it would be more comforting of a flight knowing you had a reserve. :jump:
