how far would you go for an epic sports photo?

This dude got some balls! I've watched it about 20 times since Ive first seen it this morning. I would throw my old camera on a tripod... maybe. If the hole was big enough that I wouldn't be able to get hit by a truck, I would soo be down there.

How far would you go?

 

This guy misses ledges by 5 feet while free falling for fun:

 

oops.. posted the wrong video. just corrected it!

 

To me, he looks like a darwin award in waiting.

 

I assume the video was shot in Mexico. That explains a lot!

 

its not the same bravery, but its alot of effort anyway... search google for "wakeboard studio shoot" (don't think I can post links yet)

 

I'd go about this far. Note that the photographer goes down first with the camera. In this case, it's a Nikon D200 with a VR80-200 mm lens, maybe 10# and 14" to make the run more interesting.

 

Wow. All very powerful stuff! In another life, I'd like to have been doing these xtreme sports.

I think parcour is still waiting for some ultimate photographers.
