Now look what you made me do! I had to go look up that segment from Fifth Gear just so I could watch the wreck and make a proper GIF of it.
sigh I totally deserved that.
I watched this for 2 minutes not realizing it’s on a 15 second loop!
Alright! I was afraid it wouldn’t loop well, but I did my best finding a 15-second clip that worked. He actually only flew around up there for 1 minute and 20 seconds.
Is the board connected to the sail or just connected to his feet? Either way that’s some serious upper body strength
The board is only on his feet, and he can do aerial flip tricks with it. As for the wing, he seems to be harnessed into it. With the handlebar, he can shift his weight like a hang glider amd control the wing.
Terrifying. What if you just go higher. And higher. And than the sail folds.
How is the camera attached?
There are 360° cameras that edit out the stick holding them automatically. No idea if this is the case here, but it might be a similar setup with 2+ cameras where the stick is edited out automatically
Some say he’s still jumping to this day.
