    4:37 · 5.4M views · Aug 18, 2006

    The official video for Boards of Canada's Dayvan Cowboy, built from reassembled documentary footage. It forms a dreamlike journey from space to the sea and shore, including Kittinger's 1960 high-altitude jump and surfing footage.

    HN mentions it as a favorite ambient track and as a nicely edited tribute to Kittinger's jump.

      While we're waiting for the weather to clear, you can watch nicely edited footage of Kittinger's 1960 record of 100,000 feet; it's at the start of the Boards of Canada video for Dayvan Cowboy: this video

    3. @trimboNov 2023· in “Don Walsh: The man who made the deepest ever dive”

      Your comment reminds me of Boards of Canada's "Dayvan Cowboy" video, which blends Joe Kittinger's space jump with Laird Hamilton's surfing: this video
