I wish I could do THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8tim7fqMJI)

It's all excellent, but the bit at 2min30sec is just amazing.

The only thing that I can think of that would be scarier is something I saw in a moutain bike vid. Two loons rode down that slab of rock opposite the Clifton Suspenion Bridge. Anyone who knows this geological feature will know what I mean.

Here's the only piccy I could find, taken from the Clifton side of the gorge:

Hi All

Some years back a couple of mountain bikers rode down "Downhill Racer" a serious peak district climb.  Well I guess they plummeted actually.

Mind for real "umm why?" we need loom no further than Shaun Baker - holder of a number of world records - including greatest waterfall freefall in a canoe (17.9 metre vertical drop), and 62.95kph in a kayak on snow... still from a video clip that i have fouled up the link to

Or even a jet powered kayak - as seen on Top Gear
