The 'Luckiest Landing Ever' (at the Grand Canyon

[themaxx69]

Holy shit! I thought he was paragliding or something.

[RubixFreakGreg]

Longest description EVER!! Love the video!

[mw234145]

ohh its a toy plane but still lucky

[ArtificialSleep]

See? You read the bible, and shortly after you get rewarded with miracles like these. Undeniable proof!!

[rexasul]

@ArtificialSleep LOL!

[jeepers2655]

Fell for it,thought it was a hang glider,and kept thinking why is he just flying in one area?....go way out there......keep going,...what he`s gonna try to land on that?.....Good job.......how did you shrink down to get in the plane.LOL

[MrJamesonStyles]

I'd almost say that landing was... a miracle!

[cuddyman2]

a very buetiful place. very lucky and very lucky u are for being able to do stuff like ur doing

[QUIX4U]

Playlisted this - across as many of my existing playlists as possible - & ... hust 4U ... I created a new one ... entitled:- K_RAY_Z people do K_RAY_Z things (from GR8_Heights)

[QUIX4U]

And yes- even though I am siting here- 1/2 a world away from that drop_off- It's taking all the cringingness (down my spine) to even re-look at this- as U so woefully wander around atop those "slowly crumbling rocks"- BUT ? A toy plane it MUST BE- as ? at 57 secs U did say- U didn't fancy TRYING to "catch_it" on a landing attempt.? So- the TREE ? - That must have been hit- HIGH UP (by a motorised mini-toy-plane)- AND THEN U CLIMBED THAT TREE- just to get IT ? No wonder some people fall of that ?

[QUIX4U]

It never ceases to amaze me - even as it is ... from all the way down here - near the very bottom of NZ - under the 45th "SOUTH" parralel ... - just LOOKING at U wandering around on those OLD crumbly weathered rocks .. makes me CRINGE inside .. forget the tree "crash_landing" & what appears to be a toy plane .. just one extra gram on a fauly old ROCK .. would have you phyiscally tumblimg all the way down (plane or no plane)

[09azzman]

awesome scenery 

[Partok81]

Hmm, am I missing something? Why couldn't he land in the desert where he parked his car? Why did he feel he had to land on that finger of land? Odd.

[MrWajax]

I enjoy watching these videos! You capture some amazing scenery. Thank you for making these videos and sharing them with us. Thumbs up & favorite.

[tested2comply]

wow you are definitely lucky, that was one steep cliff... great vid!! do you by any chance know the name of the song in your vid? it was a fantastic song that went great with the images of your video, great job!!

[floatingg00s3]

thunderfoot, you truly are a beautiful person

[dmana3172]

I would love to jump and dive at the grand canyon :-)

[danoon334]

omg lol i tought it was a real plane

[tomb1272]

same lol

[angrylucky]

i though he was going to fall....lol dumb me

[lln003]

This guy is missing some screws in his head.

LoL

Lucky bastard! Brave one too! :)

[harkying99]

The Grand Canyon is proof that ACS is an asshole.Five minutes my ass.

[ImmortalUniverse]

be careful thunderfoot ,

you freakin me out on that edge ,and its not even my ass on that edge .

be careful okee.

i like the video , it was a lucky landing yes

you hit the tree pretty hard.

do you watch live trew the camera ,or is it just for showing video ?

would maybe be easyer to land if you got a live image from the nose .

but i dunno ,i never fly

[usagicullen]

@ImmortalUniverse

thats thunderf00t =O?!

[shudvbinapilot]

Bin there, done that but in a helicopter. The Grand Canyon takes your breath away, you dont appreciate how awsome it is until you are there. I love what this bloke has done with the plane.

[vonBeavis]

Good vid, very interesting.

[mobiltec]

Great landing. I have landed my hang glider in trees and also on the sides of mountains doing the same type of approach. Come in low and hot and point it up and flare when you run out of air speed. Works every time. You could practice that on a grassy slope somewhere. Wind should be coming up hill...

[sakkamarra]

I thought he was really flying. So when he hit the tree I was like "Oh fu**!"

[rawrsaidthemouse]

In regards to the camera, did it come with the plane?

Or did you buy something external, and fit it in yourself?

How could you go about doing that?

[ooglebydoogleby]

looks realy beautiful where you are

[thaGkillah]

i thing he was in hell!!! ^^

[ooglebydoogleby]

wahhhhhhhh

[thaGkillah]

yeah... there its beautiful... i know it, cause i am now there^^ even you are in hell now... :D

[AlbertHofmannJr]

The sandals, the hair? He's a hippie! I also thought he was really, physically up in a glider taking video by hand (as in some of his other videos). I envy him, the damn hippie. I hope he found some interesting flora, you know cacti, mushrooms etc., to "examine".

[shalylol]

lol, thunderf00t tripping on peyote sitting on a mountain flying a plane

[mxf7010g8k]

LOL!

[migs3331]

i thought it was a real plane and a person holding a cam.. ahehehe.. but still seriously.. wearing a sandals beside a clip was very dangerous.. whooaahh!!! good damn thing you have done man.. really exiting!! XD

[The4one4you4slept4on]

Thunderfoot is one of the true youtube Champions.

[M1ST3RHYDE]

Your crazy, when I wanted to take pictures on the edges of the Canyon I had an elaborate set up of Ropes & Pulleys.

[aeroseb1]

man, i love youtube because of guys like you! Congratulation for your fly! what's next?

[MINGO4445]

Thanks Thunder. Alway wanted to see this part of United State. Nice video. Thanks again.

[GuppyPal]

haha, you're crazy, TF, but this video was fantastic. Be careful. It'd be tragic if you fell to your death making a youtube video.

[cegeness]

My legs are feeling like rubber just watchin you walk around those clifs... "and over here we have just cliffs (as you step inches away from a 400 ft drop)"... Stop it ur freakin me out, lol... awsome vid though

[kyebean]

you're my idol thunda.

[Yaymudkip]

Fucking seriously...

If that was me, I would basically be crawling around in fear of falling down, and you go around there like its nothing in fucking SANDALS? o_o!

[5pecular]

Hell that was the luckist landing ever! That was awesome!

[wolflogic32]

this is insanly beautiful =^_^=

[grendelee]

the plane hit 88 miles per hour! but it came back anyway! back........from the future!

[ronniestuff08]

O<G! Dude I ate at that McDonalds at the north rim entrance. It is outrageously priced. and when I was there 3 years ago it was like $40 to get in.

[AtheistYeti]

This.. is so beautiful. The canyon. Its amazing.

[turoturothegreat]

Is this TFoot?

[TheoryReviewGuy]

Thunderf00t obviously hasn't read the bible. In the collosians chapter it tells you to beware of falsely so called science and philosophy. Thunderf00t just ignores the scripture and thinks that he can hide under god.

[Ormaaj]

But he doesn't believe in god...

[Rabit561]

BTW, Tfoot has basically read the bible (all 2000 pages of it.)

Even though he didn't read it intensely, he did.

[turoturothegreat]

Nazis said the Jews are evil, does that mean its right?

[pjholl]

I ignore the scripture too because it's bollocks. Any book that tells you to not believe in a subject that has close to 400 years of evidence is one I'd rather stay away from thank you.

[pidemelafrula]

ass

[sentenced988]

So you say he can't have read the bible since he don't believe in the christian god ? Since he don't follow the letter of the scriptures ? Did you really said such biggotery ?

Oh my god, It looks like you did. Benedict XVI is a visionary compared to yourself...

[ronniestuff08]

You must be brainwashed?

[Rabit561]

Yes.. This is Tfoot lol.

[0okamino]

Whew! That tree is a good catcher.

[courtneylvgirl]

God kept an eye out for your toy plane. It wasn't luck. Ok, just kidding... tf, you just have skills is what it is. Are you planning on visiting Vegas?

[adafuns]

damn tfoot your living the life ive always wanted if i had the money to do so. one day though i dont care if im old and outa my prime im going to do what you do. and explore this beautiful planet. spent to much of my time in just one city that ive grown to hate.

happy trails man.

[sharpsteve2003]

Very cool and scary. I have been to Grand Canyon and the your footage reminded me of being close to the edge and it gives me butterflies in my stomach just watching. The video you got is great.

[shadowcnidarian]

Birds are lucky.

[imnothear]

this is just brilliant

[IntegratedInsight]

lol... that lizard on the tree. When I was there my step-dad (who's afraid of heights) had his hand on a tree while looking over and one of those skittered across his hand. He freaked.... good times.

[cyxgun]

This is amazing Thunderf00t! You should be producing nature documentaries for National Geographic or something. It's sad that there isn't really much of a market for this material, so tied up and hypnotized by materialism is our culture. We've completely forgotten that we are just a part of nature, and could not exist without it.

[darkelfmerc7]

Welcome to the great state of Arizona, Thunderf00t! Maybe next time you should bring along a sheet or a net or something that you can tie between the trees to catch the plane. If you let the bottom hang loose in a sort of J shape it won't even hit the ground!

Reading the bible at the Canyon? What a way to spoil a perfect morning, LOL! And you might be mistaken for a fundie.

Anyway, GREAT views of the Canyon and its geology. Keep up the good work!

[BlackstarSirius]

Hey Thunderf00t, did you visit Lowell Observatory while you were in northern Arizona?

[OutsideTheWorld2]

This is great. This is my inspiration to plan a cross-country trip for next summer after I've got a little bit more money in my pocket. Ha

[Protagonist]

When landing, your supposed to bring the plane near the stall speed, fly level(ish) with the horizon and adjust the throttle to change the angle of decent. When on the approach pitch up slightly and reduce the throttle (to maintain the same decent rate) wich will slow you down dramatically.

You should try placing the camera nearer to the balance point. Im guessing its very nose heavy.

You could land one of those model planes on a coin with practice.

[SubTachyon]

Excellent Tf00t, keep them coming.

[vaiylesondue]

Great video!

[MasterOhSo]

Thanks for sharing...that was beautiful! I could feel my anus tighten up when you did the look off the edge...I'm still smiling, what a vicarious experiance....keep having fun buddy...peace be with.

[Ripley747]

The Grand Canyon is beautiful. I was a very small child last time I went (I think I was 6). Did you happen to see any water there rushing past you at 5 times the speed of sound, out of curiosity? Just wondering.

[rd1999]

Lucky? It was a blessing from "God"

[WallStreetMogul]

wow... awesome video

[Rockster969]

Really nice  video Thunderf00t.Really looked good when it overflew that rock outcrop but what a vista! Breath taking.

[magick205]

Not exactly catching the three wire, but still very cool. One of those places where you just had wings yourself and could leap out and just soar.

[BravoBigscreen]

Brilliant! I was going to splurge on a new amateur radio transceiver tomorrow, but I've changed my direction. Instead I'll save my money, do some research and buy an aero-vision configuration like this! I'll take the plunge so to speak ;)

[FarBeyonDDriven8]

Really cool video. But Thunderf00t.. You've got some balls, because I know it isn't stupidity, you've ruled that out obviously. The beginning of the video, you're about 40, 50, maybe even 60 feet away from hundreds of jagged rocks, holding a camera.. Damn..

[PutoProzak]

Just another proof of the garce of the Lord!

nah.

[debakle001]

oh yes, his great garce

[PutoProzak]

We have witnessed another proof of the All-So Divine Grace of the Lord!

[charleshasideas]

Ah yes praise be to the flying spegetti monster!!!!!

[PutoProzak]

Look closely to the clouds in the sky! It's an apparition!!!! A Miracle from Prepubescent Jesus!

[TinyCoconut]

at least you didnt come close to dying this time. :D

[tkdliron]

looks like you had a great trip through the states

[maulcs]

You need to do these in HD.

[Valthecatlover]

OH., I thought HE was flying IN the plane, then I saw it was a toy plane LOL!

[vince38curious2]

Mirrored from samOFblorx "Man, walking over boulders and tree stumps on a cliff while wearing sandals....Are you CRAZY? "

GREAT FOOTAGE YOU ARE INSANE

[PenguinFactory]

Holy crap I would not be walking where you are. Particularly not while using a camera.

[thethreeheadedmonkey]

I suspect he has more experience doing it than you do.

[winstonsmith00]

awesome

[teddirez]

great footage of the canyon that was created in 5 mins with the flood rofl

[RexFordVII]

Nice flying, Maverick, almost lost your little plane.

I love these flying videos, it would be a shame if you lost the means of making them.

[Elaina43]

"fairly significant drop-off" Yes. Yes, there is that. LOL

This is SO gorgeous that I thought it was faked.

This is not sped up at all?

Well done!!

[JohnTraviss]

Magic of camouflage.

Took me a third try to see what you were doing with a tree, turns out it's a lizard.

[JohnTraviss]

As a concerned viewer, I recommend putting parachutes on your plane.

[Katsuhisa777]

O_o

Go a little closer to edge much t-foot?

[theshadowify]

We haven't heard from him in a while. I hope he didn't get too close to the edge and try to catch his plane.

[shadowscion]

LOL no kidding.

[Finkeren]

Damn it TF, don't go near the edge! You're breaking my nerves! :-)

[AncientAtheist]

I just found this by accident. I thought all of this stuff was going to be on his thunderf00t channel. I was wondering why he hadn't posted anything. Glad I stumbled on this! God brought me to it. :)

[bondfrenchbond]

no HD? Bummer

[ArtOfficial]

all of your videos are nausea inducing to watch. it's a beautiful view, but i wouldn't dare climb out on that cliff. safe travels thunderf00t.

[SleepNeed]

Great footage. Amazing that water going 5x the speed of sound made the Grand Canyon in five minutes? lol

[mirreece]

Ha! You keep making the camera view over the edge of the cliff when you're standing up there and my suddenly irrational fear of heights kicks in. I don't think I've ever been scared by only a video of a high place :) beautiful though.

[NaomiClareNL]

And another one in the bag!

[leorcc]

Is that a Easystar TF?

[dienlik]

He talked an awful lot about the planes before his first trip, and yes, I believe he said that they were Easystars.

[ThePWNZORorNOOBZOR]

Lol it must of been god TF cause we cant explain how lucky you...or it could of been skill.....

GO TF GO! I'm just waiting for the ray comfort beat down..

[gunzaspawn]

im so ready for the main course... but ur a master of suspence TF, do ur thing. stay safe, man, those cliffs look nasty. we all care about u!

[padraigkilkenny13]

Great Vid, Glad you still got your Plane.

[k166a]

That's really awesome footage. It makes you feel like you're flying...

[DeltaNC]

Fantastic footage! If only YouTube hadn't butchered the quality!

[OneClownShoe]

You are totally my hero!!!

[withthebirdillshare]

Nah it was skill mate! All skill. Just call yourself a brilliant pilot, you'll get all the fame ;)

[imr22]

Yep one day someone he knows will be uploading a video of him falling down a cliff.

Be careful thunderfoot!

[krispycrunk]

ABORT ABORT lol

[LootPinata]

6:16 I hate it when he gets so close to the edges haha.

[Toledosteal]

Hey, ads, guess he's a YT partner now. And good for him I say.

[AnimaRaptor]

Not on the video though, I think YT is just putting more ads up. TF did say he didn't want to accept donations or be a partner so... *shrug*

[intelligentfalling]

you put me in a trance with this one lol. Extraordinary footage. Nice Job.

[jus10ls]

TFoot reading the bible? What is this world coming to?

[wwickeddogg]

more proof that god exists and he loves you

[imarchello]

Please don't kill yourself, we need you.. :D

[CBUEngineer]

Landing 4:30-5:05. Just for anyone looking for it.

Amazing view!! Brilliant control as well!

[Sandstone82]

When I'm in flagstaff I rarely see Navajos; unless I'm at the mall. On the streets I generally find white teenagers asking me for money.

[pol100pol]

Tennis shoes my man. They might save that rare noggin' from a terminal, terminal speed exercise. You have a debate to get to. Keep it up though. This is great!

[Philipisgr8]

I take it you're not scared of heights then... I would've been shitting myself!

[musicgeniusno1]

Great footage TF. That was VERY lucky indeed!

You certainly have been having some 'hairy' moments on your trip. Nearly falling off cliffs, having Indians expecting you to buy dinner etc..ha!

Really enjoying the whole thing here,look forward to next update. :)

[HeavenlySpoon]

Footage of the plane falling into the canyon would've been awesome, but oh well. Glad the plane's alright, and great footage nevertheless!

[Scrapheap71]

That was a pretty risky flight!! I hope you have the money to replace it in case you're not so lucky next time. It would be a shame if you couldn't make new aerial videos!

[davidproper]

Would some type of net "catching" rig would for landings? or does the plane come in too fast to withstand damage from being caught in the net?

[gameofchance]

whats the song and/or the artist when you start flying?

[Tr1ple]

he needs to upgrade to a 720p cam

[daddyrizla]

Nice. Some really good footage there.

[jmosler9]

is that a Deep Forest track?

[Haitahx]

Superb :D

[320iguy]

SWEET!!!

[julsHz]

Fantastic aerial f00tage!

South Rim? I hiked east of there between the Canyon and the Painted Desert to see the Orionids some time ago... off trail... got a bit turned around on the hike back!

Thanks for bringing back some fond memories. I think I teared up at one point-

Hope all is well with your car- stay safe.

[XionXi]

TF's got some huge balls, wondering around the edge of the grand canyon like that.

[christo930]

I'm stuck in the miniature grand canyon of PA. If you live in PA, check out Leonard Harrison State Park and the Pine Creek Gorge.

[DarkAegypticus]

I would have suffered a fatal heart attack if I was standing where you were thunderf00t.

[welshspud]

"Went back and got laptop for a timelapse. Spent a couple of hours just enjoying the scenery and reading good bits from the bible."

"good bits from the bible"

I lol'd

[RobHandMusicFilms]

Shit. Hit the one star when i tried to Pause! =[ Great video man! So hers's 5 stars *****. I'll come back later and 5 star it properly!

[SkeptikSnarf]

so you've who's been votebotting Tf00t =/ lol

[RobHandMusicFilms]

ha with the single one star vote! you caught me! ha Just 5 starred it there! =D

[adrenacrumb]

luck? i think we both know that landing was made possible by god. :p

[wreckchordsnz]

right on buddy hahahahaha

[traxdata2k]

OMG i feel dizzy and slightly sick. Amazing vid tho!

[deadly22sniper]

Couldn't you have flown it into the wind to land, or was the tail wind a sudden thing?

[kezamel]

Never oil a serpentine belt it relies on friction to do its job. Oiling it only covers a problem instead of fixing it right. The tensioner pulley is the most likely to be a problem though and the cheapist.

[SpyroTheDragon9972]

That was some amazing footage.

[alphgeek]

Great footage! We have an eagle like that at one of the places I skydive. When he doesn't fly, either do we.

[1Weemaryanne]

Agh. I'm enjoying this series but getting vertigo from all the cliffs-edge views.
