Mountain Bike skydiving. Kinda gives a new meaning to the words "catching big air". Thought I'd share with everyone.

Just have to angle it toward the slope of the hill.

Landings can actually be very smooth if done right. My first jump was with a tandem instructor and I was told I had to land on my butt, while he skidded in on his knees... apparently rookies land with their legs locked and can break something with the extra weight behind them. Although I'm not exactly sure how you'd run the controls with your hands on the handlebars.

I can just see someone losing grip of their precious, and watching it plummet to the ground beneath you. No, I will just jump minus my bike thank you.
