Don't care how many times i see this but its awesome!

 

either some serious maths went into working out the trajectory and speed or its just pure insanity!

 

:good: :good:

 

 

He's obviously done it a few times but even he accepted that one was a bit too close...one day, I suspect he'll end up a red smear along a rock face the loon!

He did a jump with his french friend who misjudged and hit the wire of a suspension bridge :oops: wasn't much left...

The two most upsetting for me (a couple of heroes of mine) were Doug Coombs... Bought a movie called 'Steep,' that covers Coombs and his untimely demise (amongst other things) and really got into an extreme skier & base jumper called Shane McConkey... Then read in 2009 that he had sadly died whilst doing a ski-base jump.. one of his skis didn't release as required and whilst he was upside down trying to do it manually sadly ran out of veritcal feet!

If you read up on this guy he really is a nutter in the true sense of the word! He had suicidal tendancies and this sort of thing helped him through it!!!! It must be an amazing feeling right enough BUT its just a matter if time really! we all know man cannot fly and at some point in the near future he too will realise that with an almighty smack into a rock face :( He got off lightly in South Afica with only a mangled leg and is currently recovering I think. Sadly the next time we read about him it might be in hatches, matcehs and dispatches section!!

Fantastic film footage to be fair though :)
