Man he passed by those balloons so quick I went back and froze it there and saw the people standing on the side, then watching it saw they had a couple different angles of him buzzing the crack. Cool vid!

That suit would have to have a built in "collection" reservoir in the helmet and at the seat for me to even try that. I don't want to die that bad.

Awesome vid, Fireman!!! Thanks for sharing it; and thanks for embedding the video into the post. I would not have been able to watch it, otherwise. Can't access Youtube from work. Thanks again!!!

I'll add this to the end of my bucket list. That was incredible, going to watch the rest of his videos.

Wonder how many of his friends have already died doing this? Only takes one wrong wind gust between those mountains to kill you. Awesome video, but my life is more important to me than the thrill that would bring.:facepalm:

Jeezus............

If dude with the balloons had been just a split-second late in his dive, that woulda ended ugly.

To each their own.

Yup. One more thing on my list of "I gotta try that!!"

If you go to the actual YouTube video, there's link to "Man hits bridge at 120MPH" and it's a video interview with the guy in this jump. Apparently, on another jump he and a partner were trying to make a pass under a bridge ... the partner miscalculated and hit the bridge and the guy in this video flew through the "wreckage."

Really impressive, but I wonder how he maintains/controls his altitude at those close levels and high speeds? Super thriller, for sure!

Re: This Guy is Nothing Short of Awesome

Ok I was going to say big deal until I realized how risky that really is. I am amazed at how close he glides to the ground. I though double black diamonds in Crested Butte were impressive.

 

[robert graham]

Re: This Guy is Nothing Short of Awesome

He had to know his exact glide angle and descent rate And the elevation at each point going down to be sure he could clear each point. Believe he spent some time planning this so he didn't auger into one of those mountains or rocks!....Wild!

I'd love a ride like that
