Speed Flying?

I gotta say. This is definitely on my bucket list:

Anyone heard of it, or done it? Apparently it's much, much more dangerous than it looks.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

I personally think that the wingsuit is more exciting a run, though that's far more dangerous than what you've got up there. Still, very neat. It certainly brought a smile to my face. :)

I'd still like to have a shot at hang gliding in Arizona... 2,000 fpm without an engine is probably the most thrilling thing I've ever heard of, ever.

I think I'd try hang gliding, or perhaps even skydiving, before that. :X  Looks quite fun though!
