Dude. If anyone finds this and looks at no other, check out the "red kites" link above, at about 1:22. You can see the upper surfaces of the kite's body stall (i.e. lose lift).

I think I forgot to link to this one: they try to burst a 6-foot water balloon; it's harder than it looks.

I saw one where they had a giant water ballon (like 100 gallons or something). That was pretty epic.

The skeet shooting guy is THE suavest dude on the internet. The tie, the vest, the cap - the smooth shooting action - the pop up cartridge - I totally want to be that guy!

This is cool, thanks. Slow mo is used for fun far too little.
