sv_airaccelerate -10
WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! - ghm101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+46So many rocks so little snow, serious skills.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30Wow. Sitting on my ass at my computer watching people do some of this cool stuff makes me feel like my life is just wasting away. I need to get out more. lol
- zforrester, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Did anybody else ***** themselves at about 1:01, when he goes over the cliff?
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Those rocks look a tad deadly :P
- ThrasherC, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24I'm going to have to call ***** on your comment, although I'm sure Chuck Norris could do it naked on roller skates while having sex with your wife/girlfriend.
- Spizzat2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Sign me up! I went skiing once; I'm sure I'll be fine.
- diggless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13this will be a video game soon.
- MacBigot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I agree...it capture the same feeling of failing in one's dreams. Clearly these guys are batchelors. Husbands aren't allowed to do crazy sh*t like that.
- arnee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Longer video from the original website:
http://www.acro-base.com/fr/imgs/galerie/video/videos/eiger06/eiger06.mov - LLXerxes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11It probably takes a lot of skill, because you have to not only land on snow, but you also have to calculate each jump to hit each area right.
- noclips, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10that would look sweet in an IMAX theater
- dbw42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Can you say X-Games 2008??
- Utopian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"Dude, where are you going? The mountain's THAT way!"
- DigiMaso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Seriously the coolest video I've seen in awhile.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I think i'll stick with the cog railway.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7no kidding, this is definately one of those "make a game out of it so I don't have to break every single bone in my body trying it IRL"
- Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7This guy and the squirrel suit guy need to tag team a mountain. Both of those videos made my heart rate increase just watching.
- SeaBass22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, I kept waiting to hear him say "OH *****!" That was breathtaking.
- carlosglz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That video is a definite nut shriveler...
- Googleplex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Link from their site with more of an introduction:

edit: damit too slow - Vladamir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5what wife or girlfriend?
- rautox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4How does he stop? Violently.
- Providence, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10I find sv_gravity 600 to be the best, with sv_accelerate at positive 10. That's the standard for surfing, anyway. Don't you try and cheat with low gravity!
- maehem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Would make a funny "Happy Tree Friends" episode.
- jus1haz2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Holy ***** that is awsome! Would suck balls to hit a rock and wreck!
- CubeFarmDrone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2*Speachless
- jmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When I used to ski, I would have dreams that looked like that. That guy is crazy.
- Mootabolife, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Get on it quick, I hear this Global Warming ***** (GWB) is coming.
- loconet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Child's play compared to this other video:

This man is a lunatic - piesforyou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This has got to be THE most FUN thing you can actually do on this planet!!
- converge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2balls of titanium
- herschelaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now I HAVE to see third person footage.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1IMAX patented their format, tainting the feeling of the imagery. But that would look sweet in ultra high resolution!
- LexisNexis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@bdpf: You can hear his helicopter in the video, they drop him off and pick him up.
- green1152, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that crap was intense. emanggid, I was doing this same thing. Not often do my eyes pop out of me head.
That looks like a serious adrenaline rush. - lunxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@wolfkeeper
Actually, the glide ratio of an average glider is 10:1 or 8:1, but this isn't your ordinary glider, its a speed-glider, used with skies, and has a much lesser glide ratio. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Probably he stops with a rock lodged inside his skull, wtf were you thinking?
- blynder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That is the most awesome thing I have ever seen, I thought for sure he was going to crash. I would love to do something like that, well I guess if I was going to die anyway cause I would for sure smash into the rocks
- profJohn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well I'm pretty sure that's going into the next Bond film.
- kozicka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Watch the better quality linked video someone posted, it has some shots from the chopper.
Looks like good fun, that mountain sure looks high from the top. - carve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It was a 48 seconds where he had to go up a little rise and nearly hit a rock where I really puckered.
- AngryA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that's nuckin futs!!
- carve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Agreed- this is one long "swooping" flight...over rocky uneven terrain! As though swooping weren't dangerous enough to begin with!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He doesn't
- jinushaun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I should do this the next time I climb Mt Rainier! Descent is a chore...
- dbug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The country is called Switzerland, swiss is just the adjective.
- Glidedon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very dangerous flying that close to the ground at that speed, however he could have flown away from the mountain at any time and over obstacles with ease.
Awesome none the less! - stray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He's making his getaway from Clint Eastwood and his albino boss.
