Not really a first, but first time he shows it officially

I know it is a crosspost from the wingsuit forum, but I know many bonfire posters don't necessarily lurk over there

It has to be true because Keith Richards was there to film it.

That was fantastique! It looks like something I dreamed of doing as a kid. Those loops were cool.

I read where he wants to fly the Grand Canyon, maybe get a second jetman flyer, and install a ballistic chute for some low work. Best of luck to him in doing all those things.

the BRS is installed (at least on one rig), it works and round parachutes are OK to "land" in the lake

true that !!

As he said, Pégoud's first loops with his Blériot plane in the 1913's weren't perfect, and he still has a couple of decades ahead to get them "a they should be"

He must have a long list of EP's.

what do you mean by that ? length of the procedure ? or number of times he had to use them ?

Number 2 is bigger than number 1 and it was always pretty efficient

My job at the moment is to go out and work with schools and educate students regarding the viability of a career in the fields of engineering and science.
I've been showing Mr. Rossy's vidoes to the kids, and with out a doubt every single kid, be it a boy or a girl has come to me after class and said..."I want to make that when I grow up, I want to fly like I do in my dreams. I want to be the next Mr. Rossy."

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
