I'm skeptical. Am I the only one that noticed what appeared to be the plethora of CGI in the video?
The internet has ruined us. :-) I also immediately though "fake" or some kind of viral video, but my desire to try those out makes me hopeful..

#161. GoPro-camera viral ad... 20% 2. funny joke... 10% 3. this is real ... 70%
damn... the track record of incredible, but fake videos in the recent past makes me feel skeptical, but I wish it was real
btw 0:57 the tracks on the grass.. look suspicious ;)

I'd be amazed if this is real, because it would be far easier to fake than to really pull off.

#191. He's received criticism about his videos before, but still insists on filming in random parks, only releasing to press after the event, and using blurry/shaky footage.
2. When he takes off, the camera shakes heavily. When he lands, someone steps in front to block the view.
3. At 0:35, his legs lift up so that his body is parallel to the ground (necessary for flight.) If he had been placing his legs on some sort of device for flight, why would the liftup be that smooth?
This would be awesome if it were real, but... just seems fishy.
