That skydive video is pretty awesome (though it's a shame the camera didn't have a stabilizer of some sort).

On the mountain? Nice!

[edit: about metronomes. (few cross-posts in the same time)]

Hahahaha that is wonderful! I almost died of laughing when at minute 2:05 (about) all looked synchronized, except the last one in the second row from the front, which was moving totally wrong, like in the movies with Laurel and Hardy. "Unfortunately" it "solved" itself till the end of the movie. I still puzzles me how they can tell the left tick from the right tick, most probably they use ultrasound ticks, when they hit one side, like a "reset" signal (they have to sound the same, like in "must issue the same audible sound on both sides", they can't sound different, like in "are not allowed to". I may not be able to tell the difference, but my daughter's piano teacher would really look upset if the her metronome makes "tick" on the left and "tock" on the right...).
