I'll never understand why people do this sort of thing as a hobby or pastime etc.

It seems to be a sport with a rather unforgiving learning curve. I wonder what the bug splat % is in it?

Very excellent video. Mucho exciting. :salute

I remember when I was a young man at Abingdon doing my first jump which was from one of those old Barrage balloons, it was attached to wire on a winch, the Jumpmaster made us tell jokes on the way up, but that's nothing compared to these crazy stunts, Christ. I was S####g my pants on the way up back then, these kids look like they're actually enjoying it :)

I think if I ever tried that they would call that GetBack Gouge (Not Gourge). I'm with Itunes though. Why tempt fate?

I've seen that before.  I'd be all over it if I was a little younger and in better shape.  Looks like a blast.

If I could afford it, I'd try it in a heartbeat.  There is no better drug than adrenaline.  Every so often, I needs me fix.

I would do it right away, before i have kids anyhow.

I've seen a few films where people hit trees and suspension bridges at 120mph...its not a sport to be considered unless you have no one to leave behind..Still it would be worth the risk, thats like living in a dream world.


What about Gigi Ruf?

My favorite fix is when I dose off and wake up just in time to dodge the bridge abutment. That fix lasts me until I dose off and dodge the guardrail, which lasts until I dose off and dodge the semi in the eastbound lane...

It's been shown somewhere on the intardnets that heroin junkies, coke heads, meth heads, etc.
have the same brain chemistry....  The act itself is but a small part of the addiction compared to the
pay-off in the brain..  Dopamine levels while doing extreme sports are shown to actually be higher than
levels after shooting the very best heroin or snorting the very best line.. 

I read it somewhere like 5 or 6 years ago....  Maybe it was High Times or Maxim or something....  While I was at the Library...
It was my first and only time reading High Times....I swear... :noid

such a good point. long term substance addiction is far more terminal than the chance of hitting the cliff.

Actually here is an onboard clip of a mistake from the same guy who did the fly bys (I think). How he lived I do not know...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLmP7eGZ_ho&feature=channel

Agreed, your either one of the best in the world, or your goo on a rock.

I wonder what would hit the ground first, My lifeless body seized from cardiac arrest, or the vomit that i spewed prior to the heart attack. :D

yeah in my experience, much softer. I've slammed into 3ft powder snow from about 20ft and it knocks the wind out of you and packs snow into every availabe orafice. Also done backflips from cliffs into the sea from 60ft and that can really hurt if you mess it up. This guy must have fallen over 100ft into about 3-4ft of powder, its still very impressive he didnt break his back. Stuntmen would baulk at that drop and they get paid hansome rewards + damages, This kid does it for a laugh.  :confused:

I'm going to try this as soon as I get the chance. That's intense.
