       MAJOR LEAGUE GAMING
February 2009 Champion MLG was started in 2002 by Mike Sepso and Sundance DiGiovanni and took on a lofty goal: to form a league, and enough buzz to actually turn video game addicts into professional athletes. Fast forward 7 years and its clearly mission accomplished. They have a television show on ESPN, prizes as large as $100K, tournaments all over the country, and have enabled hundreds of gamers to go professional. In 2008 they signed a deal with Dr. Pepper to put pictures of professional Halo players on 175 million bottles. Think about that for a second, that's not Michael Jordan on a soda bottle, its Tsquared, a guy who plays Halo for a living. Did anyone notice? PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS PHOTOGRAPHED WITH AN MLG BOTTLE ON INAGURATION DAY. Vote for MLG because you know you had promise when you were 16, your parents didn't see it, but you damn well knew you were the greatest Double Dragon player on the planet. There just wasn't a future in doing that for a living... back then.

   WINGSUIT BASE JUMPING
1st Place February 09 Since the beginning of time man has dreamed of human flight. Over the years little steps and innovations were made. However, base jumping with inadequate fabrics usually resulted in death. By the early 20th century some successes were being made in the field of aviation. Skydiving allowed men to explore horizontal movement. A group of pioneers known as 'The Birdmen' explored the wingsuit, but the materials available were not as advanced as their passion. 72 of the 75 original Birdmen died testing their wingsuits. Advances in wingsuit construction allow today's adrenaline junkies to push the limit of human flight. This video is the OFFICIAL Matchstick Productions wingsuit flying segment from 2007's feature film "Seven Sunny Days." Starring Loic Jean-Albert, Andreas Barkhall, Espen Fadnes, Shane McConkey, JT Holmes, and others. Go to www.skimovie.com to buy the film or learn more!

As well as he was playing at Dallas I'd give him two green guns, and he'd still end up on top. Granted he's fighting a plant, but still.

reply
They are wearing small parachutes. A big part of the adrenalin rush is to pull the shoot later and later. There are some videos of guys pulling the chute open within 100 feet of the ground.
