The majority of them do very well. The one at 1:51 goes a bit head low followed by impact. Despite their simple feather deficiency they still keep trying.

Got this in an email and found it pretty cool. The mom is clearly near her drug dealer to have picked that nesting site. Or is it she picked it for its well padded landing area and super sick high dive.

I think you'll find they're actually wearing wingsuits and that was technically the first ever wingsuit landing!

Re: [baseknut] Proper Exit Video
they are most likely mandarin ducks, which are closely related to the north american wood duck.

in short, they nest / live in trees. the higher up, the better, to escape predators, like some of the commentators on the youboob link.

Or tell him repeatedly.


I wonder if he's considered landing in a bed of leaves?

or on a larger scale, build a massive pile of cardboard boxes like the other guy in that other video.

You obviously have no idea what his master plan is about.

from an interview with Jeb on his plan:

"My plan is to take the 2 million dollars and take them to the bank. Then I am going to exchange them into 1 dollar bills.

----Then what?

Well its obvious, If I have 2million 1dollar bills, then I could just put them in a big pile and land softly on them. Can you imagine what a big pile that would be? Its almost as much money as my father makes in a year. "

Respect the Jeb, fool.
