Going to Norway?
 

Here's the most recent sporting craze (acent on the crazy-e)

gah! blocked from work.....that makes me even MORE curious!

:D

Uh... No thanks!

I think it's cool that someone is doing this, because it won't be me - must perfect the personal Zeppelin first...

Now there is a wonderful idea, although there is much prior art and more if you use zeppelin rather than airship.

A small personal airship is a great idea.

"I'm skiing, I'm skiing......

.....ok now I'm and Olympic diver......

.....and.....

....now I'm Batman."


Looks like an f'n blast.

They're using squirrel suits. Those things are awesome! They lower your terminal velocity by a huge amount by increasing drag (note the material stretched between the legs and extra on the sides as well). I've gone sky diving a few times, but the squirrel suits are usually only sold to those with more than 500 jumps. Supposedly an experienced jumper can jump from 13K feet from 2 miles off shore and glide all the way to shore the shore line before they have to deploy their chute.

curiosity satisfied.


uh.....no

The Rat is giggling with glee. I, however, will answer "no thanks" for him.
