MrFreefall383 0 #4 November 10, 2007 Didn't get to see it, but swimming this morning was more important anyway. As for the new episode last night, it still reeked of cheating and cutting corners, and all the shit that took the show off the air last season in the first place. I'll give him one more episode to pull it together and make it look a little less full of shit, but then I'm sticking to Survivorman, as annoying as his constant bitching is."If at first you don't succeed... well, so much for skydiving." - aviation cliche Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pre7117 0 #5 November 10, 2007 Cant fake that, But I would like to see his video of ride. Landing would suck at 20,000 ft HELLFISH 429 POPS 11113 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g2gjump 0 #6 November 11, 2007 It also makes you wonder if that other guys fan really did malfunction. They wanted to make Bear look like a real hero...IMO, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #7 November 12, 2007 I want to know what kind of piston engine they have on a powered parachute that will operate up to 28,000 feet. Piston airplanes can't do that. Even most turbine helicopters can't do that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beerlight 0 #8 November 12, 2007 It had a supercharger on it, from what I heard. I'm glad for Bear. Maybe he'll turn his survivor show around and do it right from now on. Anyone that can eat some of the shit that boy does, deserves a second chance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreeflyChile 0 #9 November 12, 2007 I agree. It was too bad that those things came out about how they were doing his show. I think he's very entertaining to watch, and if they could just get the show to be truly "real", it'd be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PROGRESSIVE 0 #10 November 12, 2007 I saw an episode where he parachuted onto a remote snow capped mountain. He then took his suspension lines and knotted them and dragged his parachute across the snow packed mountain. The reason for this was to show that if there was a snow covered crevasse that would cave in under his weight, that the knots in the suspension lines would dig into the sides of this deep ravine and stop his fall. He demonstrated this, but there was no evidence that in-fact this method worked. It only showed him dangling into a deep ravine by the suspension lines...Yeah, right. I bet the other end of the lines were anchored down to a catering truck. I call B. S. on this show. Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
