Yes, no problem there, but the OVER USE of the word EXTREME is ridiculous, there's even a "reality" show called "EXTREME dating"..c'mon!!!!

Corny... Do they get to date real loosers, like Start Wars geeks and the likes?

Stan: is it a full length doc on the stuff, or is it part of a longer doc and the jumping is only 2 minutes worth?

Alright, I might be retarded here, but what the hell is Speed Skydiving? Is it some way to increase the gravitational pull so we fall faster? Or they use a really fast plane so they can get to altitude quicker and jump faster than normal?

I know it's not either of those, but how is "Speed Skydiving" different from "Layman's Skydiving"?

i beleive it should be a full length. i was supposed to be on it as well if i went to british world cup meet where it was filmed. but i didn't go due to ankle injury/condo buying. sucks, would be nice to get on national geographic show.
