This four minute video contains about three minutes of arial shots taken by skydivers zipping through the mountains. HOWEVER, check out the bird's eye view of the incredible road below. Ever brag about your favorite road? To quote Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO), " You ain't seen nothin' yet." I'd LOVE to ride these roads on my FJR...

ps. If you EVER ride this road, I highly recommend that you strap on a parachute in case you overshoot one of your corners...

Any idea of the name of the place? I've seen pictures of the temple next to the big hole in the mountain before but can't remember where it is.

 
Nice video! That was really fun to watch.

The more I see about China's geography, the more I want to visit...just some really neat land formations. No $$ for that trip though...so these videos are great!

Tianmen Mountain peaks, Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province, China. I've always thought riding across China would be cool.

 
That was nuts.

More specifically, Matt Gerdes is nuts

Nope, not the FJR. Maybe a z6 or any 600 sport bike. Yea, cool part of the world.
I would disagree. For me, the only kinda terrain the FJR can't handle requires knobby tires. I would ride the FJR there for the same reason I ride it here. Besides, my FJR has plenty of storage the important things I'd need: things like Pepto-Bismal, toilet paper and enough cash to (hopefully) buy my way outa jail.

I wonder how the sky divers figure out the correct route to take during their controlled fall? That guy who threaded the needle was nuts.

Good thing there's over a billion of them.
