Speedflying Mt. Eiger.

Its a serious slope when you go up by helicopter instead of ski-lift. Its steep when you have to wear a parachute to schuss down. And its a treat when you can watch by helmet-cam from the comfort of your computer chair (but hang on tight). FranÃ§ois Bon and Antoine Montant take us â€œspeedflyingâ€ down Mount Eiger, from June 14th, the first speedflying run on this Swiss mountain ever. http://www.acro-base.com/fr/imgs/galerie/video/videos/eiger06/eiger06.mov -via Ursiâ€™s blog

When that guy popped up for the first time, I thought it was the zombie/ghost/monster dude from those European K-fee coffee commercials. Hee.

The Flying Dude IS 100 times better than this guy.

While I agree that the flying dude is more impressive from a speed-in-proximity-to-the-ground aspect, this one had a lot more rocks, any one of which could have grabbed a ski tip, certainly resulting in a severe wipeout.

I enjoyed it except for the really obnoxious song I hope I never hear again in my life.
