pds 0 #26 February 3, 2004 QuoteQuoteSkiers land feet first, Birdman land head first... slight difference. And that is the crux of the matter. Landing downhill, head-first, with your arms strapped to your sides. you big pussy. didn't i see that on the end of chronicles III? the sound of him passing the camera on the slopes is awesome.namaste, motherfucker.

riddler 0 #27 February 3, 2004 QuoteYou need to get into the 20's or lower to think about landing. Even if you could get your vertical to that speed, seems like the 150 horizontal speed would still kill you. I've crashed in snow at about 40MPH on skis and I'm here to tell you it's painful.

kingbunky 3 #31 February 5, 2004 question for all the math weenies out there , would it be possible that at that altitude he was actually getting some ground effect that may have been helping him fly what appears to be exactly parallel to the ground?"Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."
