The craziest GTA videos... Part #1

The one with the plane surfing

Another brillo PC mod enables you to play GTA: San Andreas in multiplayer, allowing for madness such as plane surfing. Though it's a pretty underdeveloped concept right now - we can already see the potential of plane surfing 'boarding' combat, where two pilots carry two plane surfers, with the winner being the pair who either a) Don't die in a fireball or b) 'Board' the opponent's plane and hijack it in mid-air. Come on internets! Provide!

The one with lots of falling tractors

Not really much to say about this one - the video itself is fairly poor. BUT! Stick with it through the first 31 seconds, and you'll be treated to a sequence of plummeting tractors that pushes one of those button things in our brains and makes us go all 'Coooo!'.

The one that translates as 'DUH!'

This is actually courtesy of Rockstar itself - which obviously thinks of everything. Want to be an idiot and jump out of a plane without a parachute? Then you'll get this amusing little cut-scene illustrating how misjudged your actions were. It's at 1:00, if you're impatient.

The one with the parachute glitch

What's the one thing missing when you're cycling around the world of San Andreas? Right! A parachute! While, disappointingly, it doesn't actually work properly as a parachute when that function would be most useful - ie, leaping your bike off a mountain - it still looks mighty funny. And allows for some hurly-whirly wheely spins.
