1fact, you need to lighten up. If you dont like it then don't watch these videos. Have a blessed day. If you decide to continue to live your life negatively then go ahead. You dont need to be so angry about things and stop talking so negatively about people. God bless you my friend.
Because it sucks when their so far away you can hardly see the planes. Witch is the way it usually is on most courses. I prefer to be in the thick of it, even if it is a little more dangerous! I've never been to an airplane race though, but seeing most the vids here on youtube. i don't want to.
I think the point, Anacinc, is that there's far more potential to maim people, should something nasty happen. Bungee jumping, motocross, mountainclimbing etc; these won't affect anyone, only the characters involved.
neat Idea, but even if they did paintballs dont go fast or far enough to do anything but make art on the deck... If it would work itd be fun to watch !
i dont have any experience with the subject but i would speculate that attempting to fire a standard paintball from an aircraft already going 200+ mph would rip the ball apart before it ever got the chance to hit anything. paintballs occasionally come apart leaving the gun as it is.
Now if you started reading this dont stop its really scary! ok send thisto five other vids. in 143 min.when u r done press f6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters this is wierd cause it actually does work. if u break this chance u wont have a crush in the next 5 years.
Steve Jones certainly wasn't smiling when he was interviewed for British TV. In fact the poor bloke was almost in tears. He blamed himself...said he was distracted and looked inside the cockpit ans lost his spatial awareness for a fraction.
Note the small piece of pylon hanging from his left wing as he flies overhead. The pylons are made up of a series of rings of lightweight material held together with velcro.
the pylon crash is insignificant near the "low pass". He almost hit his wing.

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we enjoy sports related to aviation and flying?
(2) How does aviation sports benefits our well-being (physically and emotionally)?
(3) Why do some females like aviation sport but others do not?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative dieas and brainstorm!!! :)

All The pylons are are a rotating fan blowing air up through a plastic tunnel so when they hit them they dont break their wings off and crash.
