Read this: Taking part in China's National Day celeberations, Wang Jiaxiong, 30 years old rode a BMX bicycle down a 240 foot ramp attempting to jump the Great Wall of China. As he left the top of the ramp, he was over 100 feet abobe the ground. Jiaxiong was the second of two riders attempting the stunt that day. The first rider cleared the wall without incident and touched ground safely in a special landing pen filled with large foam pads. Jiaxiong was not so lucky. On his attempt, he flew from the take off ramp and reached an apex of 138 feet high, clearing the wall with ease. But to the shock of hundreds of onlookers, he also cleared the foam landing area - a safety zone 250 long and 70 feet wide, providing enough coverage, the stunt coordinators had calculated, for any possible undershooting or overshooting of the wall. No photoshop is used in this picture. :S
