Now I have gone skydiving from 13,000 feet but this is incredible.

I've never seen anything like that before.  AMAZING!  Man, I wish I had the guts to do that.

I have been and always will be, your friend.

That is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. How does one get into that kind of action I wonder?

Rico

I skydived once too, but that is just crazy stuff!  Not sure I'd be up for that now.  How do you even practice something like that without just jumping in and doing it?  Really, really cool!  They need to do that in a Bond movie sometime.  All I kept thinking while watching that was Batman soaring in the movies with his big wings out.  I guess you don't need a huge wingspan to stay up and control your movement.  Incredible stuff!

That is Fraking awesome. Got to go out and do that. nah only kidding. ;)

I'd be like a large rock falling to the ground. :)

But I can dream. 

Of course, jumping off the cliff would be the real test for me. :)

The real test for me is to see if i can eat a 32 ounce steak in one go. Hmmmm challenge that cliff jumping guys.

I'm not scared of heights but... I think I am now :S! All through that I was thinking "how do they stop?" so I relieved they showed the guy with a parachute towards the end. Not for me but completely awesome
This question has baffled mankind for all eternity... why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

No way! One misstep (figuratively speaking) and you're jam!

I'd never get near the edge of the cliff anyway - too frightening fo me - but with my co-ordination you'd be scraping me off the rocks within seconds.

I'm also glad they showed the 'chutes though - there had to be some deceleration mechanism but it was nice to see it.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.
