    No name, no real originating source (sucks.)
    Best I can say it is an ongoing rotation, (720 stop?) to a tailwhip-type trick.

    Gary Connery is apparently the first person to skydive out of an aircraft
    and land on the ground without injury without the use of a parachute.

    People are awesome, yes.

    -- to (personal) note: I just figured out the background music on this vid was made by the one known as Gotye, and now I feel a bit foolish, realising how popular this song seems to be (and how I still remain half-wittedly unawares as to why I never heard of the guy before. last bit: the cover(s) is astounding in its own right.)
