How awesome is that!

If I did that in a dream I'd be crapping myself....he's got some guts :laugh2:

[waterrescuedude2000]

did you see it wasn't the first time hes done it though. I'll say the guy has not a lot of braincells. He shot himself down before with a b.b. gun. Came down for a "hard landing"

I saw him on cable tv, being interviewed. Eccentric I'd say. I still admire his guts though :D
