Yes, I think I would (he seems to know what he is doing :E ).
I think it's the folk standing on the bridge who need their heads examined! :ok:

That was Peter Besenyei of Red Bull air race fame. Would I want to fly with him?
God yes, imagine how much you'd learn from just watching what he does.
One day I'll be that good........(I just need lots more practice and a injection of natural ability!)

Have a look at the movies on madforeignblokedotcom (http://www.jkairys.com/english/) he really is something out of the ordinary.

What you don't see is the curve in the river and the rather large wall just beyond the bridge. The sudden turn wasn't for aesthetics, it was for survival !
Jurgis - Way to go !

And even they get it wrong at times. Not sure who it was but taken at Japanese motor race I believe. He walked away unscathed.

He's walked away from two of those... They're both on the Alexis Park Inn videos website.
Lucky guy!

Yes I definitely would. I've flown with a quite a few people who do "interesting" flying and it appears that these people not only have the highest ability but they are also the ones most able to adapt to the environment and circumstances in which they find themselves.

Barrel roll? To my untutored eyes, it looks like a pull up to get nose high, correct attitude for the inverted flight that will follow, followed by an ordinary 180 degree roll - what makes it a Barrel roll?
