Boone Pickens would have a field day with these wild-wind-turbine-base-jumping bandits. This video is insane! And according to General Electric's Wind Turbine Product Directory, wind turbines can run from 60 to 100 meters tall with blades running from 30 to 50 meters in length. That's no free fall so--PLEASE, I beg you--do not try this at your local wind farm. ]]> http://susty.com/wind-turbine-base-jumping-base-extreme-sports-insane-risky-wind-power-video/feed/ 0 360-Degree Camera Surfs Tahitian Swell Behind the Scenes (Slideshow) http://susty.com/360-degree-camera-surfs-tahitian-swell-behind-the-scenes-slideshow/ http://susty.com/360-degree-camera-surfs-tahitian-swell-behind-the-scenes-slideshow/#comments Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:43:03 +0000 by Michele LaTorre, Long Beach, NY USA http://susty.com/?p=6394 never-before-seen camera equipment, the Red Bull crew descended upon Teahupoo to document a day for the ages.

The piece is intercut with archival footage of great moments from Olympics past and will screen on NBC during its August coverage of the games. Also, we're thrilled to find out that the Olympic Committee will be distributing copies of this inspiring video to each and every athlete to view while they travel to Beijing to compete -- we're terribly honored to in some small way touch the lives of the 2008 Olympians.]]> http://susty.com/maya-angelou-2008-olympic-poem-amazement-awaits/feed/ 0 Gifts for the Outdoors Lover with Summer Rayne Oakes VIDEO 2 minutes WATCH >> http://susty.com/gifts-for-the-outdoors-lover-summer-rayne-oakes-video/ http://susty.com/gifts-for-the-outdoors-lover-summer-rayne-oakes-video/#comments Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:31:20 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=1314 Eco-fashion model Summer Rayne Oakes tells us about her trip to Great Bear Rainforest decked-out in a fab NAU jacket (the same one I'm wearing here).
