Flying on Bird Wings - A ****ing Magical Moment! =D

[Renegade]

Now, whoever you are, no matter who you are, I KNOW darn well that when you were a kid you wished that you could fly.

We all did.

Many of us still do.

This guys does it. And here's the video to prove it:

I did it! This weekend I brought out my wings again for a second test. And here it is. Do I need to say more? Just watch the video

He sums things up in the video:

A f***ing magical moment!

Now, let's just hope that he posts plans and directions on how to make his wings~! =D

Wow!

[nudone]

Would have been a little more believable if it took more effort to get off the ground. :-)


(Edit: Sorry, I'm a dick for not playing along. It's a decent enough hoax after all.)

- you don't believe what you see nudone ?

Well, I was a little sceptical, but I've just come back from a little flight around my village. All you need is a couple of king-size duvet covers and lots of determination. It's a revolution.

[joiwind]

Great - I'll try that too ... ^^ ^^

Such a wonderful dream. Literally.

(But I still like it!)

Yeah, but still...Wow at the thought of it! haha

*SIGH*

Oh well...I guess my on-again/off-again personal airship project I started back when I was 12 goes back on the drawing board.

Except something more like this:

After that, I want to start working on my personal submarine...

Pretty much any personal transportation device is uber-cool. Bicycles and motorcycles are about the only popular ones though, and they're so old and common that they've lost that "wow" factor. But flying and submarines? Still lots of coolness there for a long time to come!

Meh... Maybe. Looked pretty convincing. He never flew far, but... I suppose it will eventually come out in the wash.

Are people getting upset about his video and claims? It's just a bit of fun - isn't it? I mean, he's not trying to sell the wings to people (so that they may jump from the nearest tall building and plummet to their death).

Great idea! Start a special introductory exclusive promotion of 50% off on sale at Wall Street and K Street only!

[nudone]

heheh. Brilliant. Yes, set the price high enough to purchase the wings and they'll believe it has to work.

Anyway, the "truth" behind it all...

Now, all the more reason to sell it on Wall Street and K Street!

They did a good job. It was certainly fun!

Here's another hoax that is rather fun:

Just imagine if it wasn't a hoax~!

I know a few people that do Paramotoring. That's about as close as it gets to personal flight, not much different to the hoax vid except Paramotoring is real, well, there's a lot more engine noise I suppose.
