Saving this video from queue deletion, sending it to the top of the queue for one more try. Originally submitted on Monday 28th May 2007 (save called by gold star member michie)

Great video! I love how much they let it "breathe" -- so many other productions would have built up a lot of drama around their big jumps, but they just let them speak for themselves. Very meditative, and some beautiful cinematography.

Was that Bear Grylls himself towards the end???

*documentaries

Adding video to channels (Documentaries) - requested by mauz15.

Very cool, but the video footage doesn't actually show very many interesting things. The Nike commercial was more impressive.

They should have picked a better city or something... I wanted to see death-defying leaps and scaling down buildings from balcony to balcony, not *running* on top of rooftops and only a few good drops.
