There was a programme on the Discovery channel last night about the Birdman of Bognor. I have always wanted to do this, not to win it, just to take part using the least aerodynamic shape possible. The jump is 35 feet, and there was a 25 knots wind blowing onshore, it looked pretty terrifying from the helmet cam of some of the competitors, but great fun.
The programme on afterwards followed West Coast Choppers, a custom bike shop. The attention to detail on these bikes was phenomenal. Each bike had a unique design on the wheels. They started with a blank disc of aluminium, which was fed into a machine, which had the design programmed into it, the machine took 2 hours cutting the design to the pattern.
