Soarin'

Ok - so it's Friday, and much like I'm sure many of you are - I'm burnt out from this week.

Straight up. 100% dead.

I'm going to be crawling towards the weekend by the end of the day. Who cares if I'm on my hands and knees though, I will make it there, for two days of rest and relaxation.

But, as I said for this week, I'm focusing on videos, so I shall continue the trend. Plus, I figure since it is Friday, we certainly deserve something that is visually stimulating. So, let's go for it.

While I'm not too into the whole "wing suit" craze that is out there - I do find it extremely interesting. At some point in my life, I do want to sky dive (sorry mom), but I'm not exactly sure when that will be. Probably when I have much more green in my bank account - whenever that will be. I've tried the simulated wind tunnel diving and even though it is basically cheating, it was still some of the most fun I've had. But do I ever see myself strapping one of these things on and jumping off a mountain?

Absolutely not.

Good for these guys - it's clearly the closest we are to individually flying without the aid of a motor, which is cool. I just don't want to have that risk factor. I could totally see myself trying to show boat and fly over a ridge as close as I could and just splatter all over the mountain. Whoops. No thank you.

So, while this is something I'll pass in my life time, I do enjoy watching others do it, especially when they have cameras strapped to themselves. There is just something so majestic about seeing it as a spectator.

Oh and don't feel bad if you don't understand all of what the narrator is saying - at first I couldn't understand half of what was coming out of him either. I guarantee you'll understand him by the end of the piece.
