    Best dive ever!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    ^^ 10/10 for commitment at least! She held that position all the way down! Indian bloke in the first video was doing every thing he could to recover!

    ...which is why I stay further away from bodies of water than a normal house cat...
    Reminds me of Sammy Baca in "Prevent This Tragedy".
    What, you don't watch skateboard videos? Weak, dude... I'm telling you, it was big... similar form, but not as bad.

    Ever seen that video where the teenager jumps off a sea wall but clips the concrete at the bottom, then is shown in hospital later with his face split in half? I dont know if its authentic or a viral, but either way its grim

    That Sammy Baca section is pretty sweet. The cliff he dives off is big, but the fisheye makes it look way bigger than it really is.

    High-five, MikeP!!
    I think it's the same cliff as Roberto Aleman in 'Goin' Bananas'... maybe not, but 'tis a similar feat.
    I just love skaters like Sammy, man... true shred. Thrasher for life.
    Yeah, fish-eye... good explanation of it by Colt Cannon in the after-credits section of 'It's Time'.
    God, I need to stop watching so many skate vids... I'm such a nerd...
