At the end of the second video, he says he maintained forward flight at a constant altitude of 2000 meters for around 30 seconds. Amazing.

Looking at the background, at the end of the second video, I wonder if that's where he landed? It looks pretty populated.

Oh my god that is even more funny than the backyard rollercoaster!!

I like how he just drops and it seems like nothing is happening - and then zooooom! He becomes a speck on the horizon.

The kid's got potential, if he doesn't get beaten up first. (For those not familiar with The Magic Flute, the piece he's singing is a) very famous and b) usually sung by a woman.)

Historically, women were not allowed to perform opera so the women's parts were always performed by pre-pubescent boys. It may be that traditional opera training limits the curriculum for boys to women's parts until they are older. He might also consider some martial arts training to balance his vocal training, though.

But he won't have a voice like that for long. He already has some problems, but nevertheless it's beautiful.

Wow. I almost popped a hernia watching it! I especially like the open vowel ah-ah-aha-h-ah-ah-ah sections. What a beautiful voice. I wonder if Kevin in Sin City sounded that way. :snark:

Methinks they should lengthen his suspenders.

Blind guitarist should hook up with Bill Clements, the one-handed bass player. (Warning: extreme talent)
