Gizmodo posted this video today which I found very cool. I’m getting increasingly interested and envious of folks who can do video…an area I have very little experience with. Regardless, it shows some pretty amazing stunts. I’m amazed at how daring some people can be. My days of “x-games” type stunts ended during my...
