Jonathan Tagle of the PD Factory Team swoops past a camel — seemingly running for its life — on his paramotor in the Dubai desert. I’m sure PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) would have a thing or two to say if they saw this, but f*ck ‘em if they can’t take a... Watch Video »

Get this… the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (also referred to as “Fazza”, which is much easier to remember IMHO), is a badass skydiver! True story.
