Default Stretching the Final Glide

Maybe it's like ridge running. When you first see it you think "this
guy's crazy". When you try it you're 300 feet above the ridge
initially, then as you watch people pass you underneath you move down
to 100 feet. I can't help but think this guy's done this a few times
before!

As for me, I'll definitely pass. I had white knuckles while seated in
my chair, fearing for his safety.
