the most amazing thing !! i was watching tv, scrolling the channels when i stopped at national geographic. there was a show on about falcons called 'flying with falcons'. the documentary was at its end but i saw the most amzing thing, a human freefalling one meter next to a bird flying in head-down position.
i didnt have time to tape it but the channel is going to play the show again late at night. i'll tape it or make pictures with camera and post em here :)
that must have been that dudes coolest jump ever.

Was he 'BASE' jumping or Bungee jumping...

I think I saw that last year and it was Jeff Corwin trying to 'feed' a falcon...

Actually film it's mid-air strike...while attached to a bungee cord.

That's actually a pretty decent show. It's been around awhile. My favorite part is when the person narrating it states skydivers do not breath during free-fall. We absorb our o2 needs through our skin. I about died laughing, and this was coming from National Geographic.. Some producer who was supposed to check facts or proof the commentary is a doodoohead.
