Our trusty little Flip video camera is fantastic for things like interviews, but for recording aerial displays of ridiculous awesomeness from the ground…not so great. We did get a quick video of the landing area, though, and trust us, it’s no place for the weak.
Two teams enter, one team leaves. Given the solid lineups of the Kaleidoscope dives, which predatory bird team will kick more ass and take more names?
