that dude is asking for it! i'm the kind of guy that is always game for a good speedpass, but some of the stuff he does is ridiculous.

I agree that the Dude is pushing the envelope. The axiom that there are no old, bold pilots comes to mind. But like in all forms of aviation, progress is made in incremental stages. He didn't just go out one day and start flying like that. It took probably hundreds or perhaps thousands of hours to work up to that level of skill. Also, the conditions that are allowing him to fly comfortably that close to the terrain are perfectly smooth and just the right strength.

He has a good handle on his level of risk obviously since he has lived so far.

Don't try this at home kids.
