More balls than Rico's got



But less brains, maybe. Yves Rossy from Switzerland built his own powered wing over the last few years, and now does some serious flying with it. Yes, those are jet engines mounted alongside him, and they make him go fast (like 200 mph). "Rossy, 48, is ready for bigger challenges: he plans to cross the English Channel later this year, before attempting to fly through the Grand Canyon."

Rico says he hopes the guy makes the Channel, but the video of him flying through the Grand Canyon will be incredible...
