I've seen that a few times. Unbelievable.

You'd need new pants for sure.

Indeed.

Perhaps I should draw the distinction between wanting to do it and actually having the gonads to do it.

Is that completely genuine?  If it is, he came within a whisker of killing himself on the descent and must have miscalculated his trajectory.  No one would knowingly allow themselves so little margin for error.

We may be surprised at just how much control he has over the thing Ardiles. I also imagine he has practiced that course many times and he is very familiar with it, I doubt he was that close to begin with.

Its genuine. Here's a video of him crashing into the mountains on descent.

What a head case. I don't know how old he is or how long he has been a nutter but the law of averages say he wont live to a grand old age.

I would imagine the closer you get to the ground the more lift you get from the wings at that speed.
