Well actually as the speed was very low(and beleive me that was very tame) I would say they did just fine, and it was his front garden :)

Very tame really compared to what you can do, try this :

People go to work every day driving faster and dumber than in the clips we seen with them driving without helmets. Why do people love to nit-pick so damn much. Really, have you nothing better to be at?:ugh:

It might have nothing to do with helicopters (although it is on an airfield), but what a fantastic video thanks for brightening up my morning.

From a proffessional point of view, I actually think that , although it looked very spectacular he wasnt very accurate, very entertaining but not very skillfull - we are supposed to be very accurate and I am afraid he wasnt. But very entertaining - I guess youve sen the one of Ken over the ski jumps ?

Don't wish to be a downer, and i'm not a discipile of you tube, but;

I, and at least, AT LEAST! two hundred other pilots and at least, AT LEAST, six hundred other people have just returned from the funeral of a bloke that lived a bit on the edge.
Sprint cars, performance kit planes etc. incl choppers
a downright good dude, he had helped many in his career.

So to hear of undisciplined front garden stuff, I wonder a bit. It's always someone else who has to pick up the pieces. In this case it's his wife and ten month old adorable daughter. NTM all of his company staff, very loyal clients and hundreds of close friends.

He had the quals, but for those who don't then being a bit green at times (I.E. careful) can be a good idea.
