Not sure if this fits our definition of sailing, but what this guy is doing definitively fits it. Any one up to [url="http://www.gamaniak.com/embed.swf?file=http://media.gamaniak.com/vid/descente-cote-buggy-rollin.mp4&image=http://www.gamaniak.com/pics/3625.jpg&showdigits=true&controlbar=over&link=http://www.gamaniak.com/video-3625-descente-cote-buggyrollin.html&displayc"]this?[/url]

Wow! WOW!!!

Is that called alp-skating? I bet they have a 30% annual mortality.

I think the alp-skater must have crashed into the bike on that curve and they edited it out. Looks like he might have had a parachute, but otherwise no lights, no brakes, and no common sense!

Oh, yeah!!! Young and stupid is right. That reminds me of my high school friend and I skateboarding down my street, which was a 3/4 mile curving hill in the NJ suburbs. We had a lot of fun until he wiped out on the gravel at the bottom of the hill. It took him about 3 months to recover from the cuts and scrapes.

I feel very sorry for the driver who took him out... (I assume he's been taken out by now.) Try to imagine...

Pretty much a danger to himself and everyone around him. 4 or 5 things could have gone really wrong in that video.

Not many 65' semis in Europe. I thought this was pretty cool as I assumed they had blocked the road off -- then, not so much. Having driven in valleys like that in Bavaria/Austria/Lichtenstein, it brought back fond memories.

Jonathan,

You could practice on the road leading down from the top of the dam. Not sure how you would make the 90 degree turn at the bottom though!
