This is what it looked like from the ground.
#1 is pretty cool too.

wow, amusing to learn that some people are really willing to risk their lives
just to have their 15 seconds of fame on youtube, like the guys doing the Matrix
jump across buildings or the guy without parachute.
pretty amazing, still.

Most parkourists don't do it for the fame, but because they like the
adrenaline rush.

That guy with the Matrix jump has definitely been training this type of
stuff for ages (look up "Parkours" or "Free Running") - like most of the
other jumpers in that clip. Not quite the "15 seconds youtube fame" type
of people, more like, "So you're from Red Bull, and want to pay me big
time for doing my favorite fun stuff on camera? Okay, sounds cool -
count me in."
The no-parachute guy is probably closer to the type. Not much training
needed on /his/ part for that stunt - I guess a day's training would
suffice.

The no-parachute guy happens to be Travis Pastrana.
