Fun stuff!:banana:

[MattTuck]

That totally made my day.

I love how the falcon is just chilling out on his handlebars at the end.


I feel like it would be a spoiler to say any more.

[TPetsch]

OK, that was pretty Awesome.

[joep2517]

Yeah that was pretty cool.

[Kirk Pacenti]

Yeah, I bet it was a ton of fun to ride / film too!

Thanks for sharing. The Peregrine Falcon is a superb bird. And it's extremely fast, this must have been quite a challenge to capture on film! Every time I had the chance to see one in action I was totally impressed, a marvel of nature really :)

Whoa! This was fantastic...thanks for sharing!

Great video! There are a few mated pair of peregrines that live in Chicago. It's amazing watching them take a pigeon in flight. They are very good at what they do.

[KidWok]

Incredible...can't wait to show that to my 5-year old son!

Meh Something with wings vs something with wheels - I'll take the wings every time.

....just because you build those things Louis.......:hello:

[soulspinner]

Love the wings retracting mid dive for speed. I could watch birds of prey all day............

I was rooting for the falcon.

I just told my wife I want a falcon to cycle with, but she said no. :mad:

[Andrewlcox]

Is this the same thing?

[xjahx]

No, that is an osprey.

The video reminds me of my friend and her old job with falconry:

This is a Harris's Hawk.

Just think, if the pro teams could train these falcons, they would be the ultimate domestiques. They could bring bottles and gu's to the leaders, all the while freaking out the competition.

...or motivation. Yellow bag on the head, no helmet!

Well, now my ride today is going to seem extremely uneventful and boring. Thanks....

...super cool video, regardless.

You just have to try and ride as fast as Gee (on really rocky terrain) and you'll have all the excitement you can handle! ;)

[crownjewelwl]

maybe if my bike had slacker angles and more travel i could ride like that
