Awesome, cheap rego too.

He is clearly insane!!!

Yes, sanity needs questioning but wow, what a rush just watching the ride... gotto love the slowing down and then overtaking move on the motorbike.

In the 4 minutes of vid how many metres of elevation would he have moved through and what average speed i wonder...

I think thats the only thing crazier than human gliding suits:

Look to be some pretty steep grades too, 12% or more. Didn't notice anyone pulling triple triaxles up the hill. you would need to hook on a banker.

It is amazing what people can think of building in their spare time.

That was pretty awesome....I think that might of been the pass that me and Ian drove in Switzerland too!! I can't remember the name all I remember is the smell of burning brakes at the bottom

Switzerland is one of the most beautiful country's at this point in time I have had the pleasure of being able to visit

Probably only a bit crazier than the couple of kids I saw riding skateboards down the hill into Queenstown in Tas.

Maybe not as steep or as long, but still plenty of opportunities to wipe yourself out. The other possibility is that they could cause a problem for a tourist coming up the hill faced with the image of one of the kids going under their vehicle.
