1:01, i think he tried to do that

00:25 is NUTS! any lower and he would've hit the really hard part of the pylon, and a little lower on the wing, and "goodnight buddy"

[joni2308]

wow watch 0:30

[wlollpop]

good thing those are balloons

i wonder how much money they spend on those pylons...

[eaglesdood16]

interesting thought. probably a lot. i doubt that they are easy to put up too. they are huge.

[wlollpop]

yeah especially in lots of wind...

that hit in the desert was scary low!

Steve Jones (GBR), Monument Valley (USA), 2007.

[tchays85]

that specific event was the reason he retired?

When will the races start using digital or aerial gates? that way they can be placed to require more interesting maneuvers? (also to be safer, I would hate to see one of those guys bite it)

[ferociousfrankie]

That's why he retired lol.

[CharlieReZa]

No it wasn;t. Red Bull dropped him cas they had 3 british pilots and he was doing the worst. Also, i think red Bull are hoping Nigel will do better than Paul this year so they can drop Paul.
