Shoreham Airshow 2010 Glider Crash [01:28]
The entire accident only took a few seconds -- from the car's flipping, to the explosion, to the driver running out of the car screaming and on fire -- but it was still one of the funniest things the fans had ever seen. "Oh, man. That was awesome," said Richard Jensen. "This was the first time I've been to a funny car race, but if they are all this good, I'll be back again. Hi-larious. It's rare these days for something to be understated in its title."Jon Heller, the driver whose car exploded, was happy to entertain the crowd."It's always hard to hear the laughter when the flames are roaring all around you," said Heller. "But once the bandages are removed from over my ears upon completion of the skin grafts, I will listen to the tapes."

paraglider racing through French Alps.. Paragliding Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure.[1] The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a hollow fabric wing whose shape is formed by its suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside. Despite not using an engine, paraglider flights can last many hours and cover many hundreds of kilometres, though flights of 1--2 hours and covering some tens of kilometres are more the norm. By skilful exploitation of sources of lift the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand metres. read more @ en.wikipedia.org

I stripped my old Iron Horse Warrior frame and trimmed the seat tube and then repainted it light green, bought a few parts and put it back together again. Still need to get a few things, rides really well except the brakes are woeful, will get some Shimano hydros soon. Also due to get a purple 36 chainring so can use new MRP chainguide (this is with 40T and temp Mr Dirt block - first chainguide ever made - still working perfectly nearly 20 yrs later) and a purple stem and maybe seatpost too, not layback like this one. Let me know what you think.
