The basketball was awesome, but those "sailboats" were incredible.

Cool video. Reminds me of my sliced golf shots as they just seem to float further and further to the right.

that was awesome

same applies to baseball too, the best home run hitters have pure backspin off the bat

Very very cool, but I'm a geek at heart.
