Does anyone else remember the flying Ford Pinto conversion? IIRC, it was a prime example of Darwin's theory. :o

Okay, how may of us just had a flash how to make our cycle fly?
I'm thinking parasail, ramp off a bridge, helmet cam,bridge cam, and a clean pair of underwear to change into.
  If anyone else has done this or plans to do it be sure to film it. I did find weird web parasailing  on you tube but it was being pulled by a boat , doesn't seem as exciting as riding off of the edge something high.
