Its long, but entertaining. Make sure you hang till the end for the last jump :)

That last jump in NYC was SWEET. Floating through the canyons of NYC on a chute.

Badass

That's one thing you will never catch me doing. Fun to watch though. :)

What's more difficult? Stuffin' the parachute in that small bag or stuffin' their cajones in their pants?!

BTW, the music leading up to the NYC jump is Metallica "Nothing Else Matters".

They are getting real close to doing that. I'm guessing it will happen within the next few years. A local jumper, Luis, has landed a 39' canopy. Nuts. I once watched him pack it on the plane ride up at Perris.

I think the camera folks, flying form, are amazing.
