An Australian guy died trying to fly in between the road and the top of the bridge support. Yeh, he missed.

I wonder what the blonde was saying?

"Frewnder frewnder vleegen vloopen ... oooooh sheet! .... frewnder frewnder..."

It probably means "I'll have them both. Right now. One at a time or both together." See the gestures at 1:40.

At least if you get it wrong in Kiteboarfing you don't end up as pink mist.

What about if you ride permanently unhooked, strapless and you only ever hook-in to do handle-passes. And you wear wakeboard bindings when you go for a drink in the pub afterwards????

Freakin extreme video though mate. I don't think I'll be trying that sport in a hurry!!!!

Are you still in Moore River Eppo? maybe you can stitch up a winged suit from an old kite and jump from the top gazebo, but get it on video otherwise it didn't happen!

ha ha yeh man still here. wind turned dead south east so no kiting. Got two days in though before this. Yeh good idea, don't know if my wife will like the idea or more to the point will porbably catch me as she has a perfect view if the gazebo from below our caravan!

I'm thinking i will buy a second hand suite, don't bother with lessons, can always pick it up as i go along or even better get my mate to show me...

fair bit of financial committment required as well as the testosterone
quick and (very)rough breakdown on the minimum costs involved....
skydiving aff course $2500 9 jumps
skydiving rig 2nd hand acc etc $5000
200 jumps @ $40 per jump $8000
wingsuit $1500
another 100 on the wingsuit
to be sure $4000
base rig and canopy $3000 approx
2 holidays to europe/states
to learn how to base jump
and rack up 100 or 200 for
experience $10000 min
trip to norway to the cliffs $5000
$40000 basic minimum before you calculate the time effort etc and before you
add the beer and skittles $?
who said kiting was expensive!!!
you could buy a new kite every year for the next 10 and a carton every week!!

or cut up an old kite sow it to a pair of overalls and jump off a bridge! cheap as chips. yourl probably die. but who cares you have to die at some point.

And yes i see the irony that i suggest this and my forum name is plummet.

I'm with Plummet, old overalls with kite fabric stitched in, will save $39,950 and leave some money in the estate to pay someone for the DNA analysis of my remains to confirm my identity
