The Video version...I actually have this whole Nitro Circus DVD.....the crap Pastrana and his crew dreams up is wild. It's amazing he's still alive. .

That video should be shown to all taildragger flight students, under the category "What it Feels Like to Try and Take Off With a Strong Tailwind."

I love the Nitro crew!

They didn't have the tip rudders installed on that Manta Fledge (great hang glider back in the day, flew and sold them). Without them you have NO lateral control!
