and of course, this happens in my back yard  8) Actually, it's the wall behind my bike in my avatar...

I'm scared of heights and my stomach turns just by watching the video, but it's nice to see my country being used [thumbsup]

I couldn't believe how they were just horsing around at the edge. It takes an act of congress for me to step foot on the edge of a 30 ft drop, much less a mountainside into oblivion.

Yes. Huge, huge huevos on those guys.

I can't make it through the video. It starts and stops every few seconds driving me nuts. It won't run uninterrupted. Anyone else have that problem?

I like the capoeira part and the side shot of the guy doing barrels rolls off the cliff.

Tried to Shazam the music but no match.  Anyone know?
