QuickDraw 0 #6 August 3, 2003 The first thing i noticed was, that as an Austrian, (or Austrailian for you CNN viewers) he was not carrying any munitions on this sortie into France. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squirrel 0 #8 August 4, 2003 ok... i dont know this guy, but are we all jealous that he got the coverage and you didnt? or is he really and asshole in person? as a guy who works in marketing, i think he nailed it with the red bull logos. if i was red bull, i just hit a 100 million viewers, for a price of a hopped up skydive. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

CornishChris 5 #15 August 4, 2003 Kevin - the version on ftp.skydivingmovies.com has the landing. Wasn't the best but then he did have a pair of wings on his back. I say good skills to the man.

Gawain 0 #18 August 4, 2003 QuoteQuoteDon't know him from shit. I'm just glad it wasn't me...with the WHOLE FREAKIN WORLD WATCHING.......that fell on my face during a landing. AMEN to that. That had to be an exhausting experience though! After he completed it, my Dad called wanting to know if I would attempt to break the record by going from France to England. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

mccordia 74 #20 August 4, 2003 I remember hearing he had to cut his steering-lines because they entangled with the wing, so maybe he had to flair on his back-risers, and with that fullsize glider-plane that helped him in his unaided flight on his back it would probably be hard for everyone to land. I gues even the god of the skies aka greatest skydiver ever sometimes fubar's a landing... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
