Yes skysurfing42 of course its backwards, now as I watched the video again I noticed the fat guy that tries to compensate bad landings with adjusting his brakes too much (2:46 & 3:43) I couldn't stop thinking of the song Elvis the king wrote about this subject. All the profits from the song goes to removing more rocks from the landing area in Kjerag.

In the Ghetto...(Lysebotn version)

As the fog rolls in.
On a cold and grey Kjerag morning a poor fat jumper is exiting, in the ghetto...
And his mentor cries, cause if there's one thing that he don't need its another little brakesetting set too deep... in the gheeeettoo.

People don't you understand, the jumper needs a helping hand.
He gonna have some s**tty landings some day.
Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see.
Do we simply turn our ways and look the other way.

Well the jumper jumped
And the cocky little boy with a running cam plays in the mountain as the fog is blown, in the gheettooo.
And his jumping sucks, so he starts to roam the forums at night, and he learns how to land and he learns how to track in the ghetto.

Then one night in desperation the young man takes his brakes, he shortens lines wrap around his hand tries to flare but he still lands hard, in the ghetto.
And his mentor cries.

As the crowd gathers round the cocky young man faced down on the ground with a stalled out canopy and too deep brakes in his hands..in the ghetto.
As the young man stalls, on a cold and foggy Kjerag morning another fat cocky guy is jumping out in the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
