workingcinderellaman Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Wow, that was cool! They must have had to do some fine calculations to hit that tiny pool. Imagine what would have happened if that guy missed. I love the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the guy would fly that far, and even if he could, I don't see how you could estimate the exact landing spot from that far away without tons of trial runs -- and from that distance, one miss might hurt a bit.

The kicker is that it looks like he gained speed as he was going up the incline. It seems like he should have sped up considerably, then barely made it off the edge.

Rush Cocky Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 First chance that I had to watch this. I wa impressed with the video, but the "jump" has to be fake. 1) The end of the ramp is the same height as the start....maybe a little higher, actually. Friction from the slide would slow him down, and he'd be lucky to even make it to the top of the ramp in real time. 2) When he comes off the top of the ramp, it looks like he's been shot out of a cannon. Again, where did all this speed come from? Some pretty good visual tricks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
