Unreal. Him just hovering over the mountain ridges was class. One wrong move and it was curtains.

I doubt if he'll see the age of 40.  Something seriously wrong upstairs, absolute bonkers.

stole my thunder tony!you could have let me have this thread!u start too many!lol.anyway what a thrill it must be to be doing what he is doing!not for me though,crazy stuff.anybody here sky dive or do any other kind of high octane activities on a regular basis?

Wouldn't be at that but have done a sky dive, bungee jump and kloofing which was pretty scarey.

Your man just has no fear. Even on my bugee jump I couldn't jump out and fall, had to just bend the knees and fall off...as if 2 feet was going to make a difference

Did you see the one were he flew under a bridge?! His mate unfortunately didn't make it. You obviously have to have a serious death wish to get involved in this.

I love watching these shows but wouldn't have the cajones for it myself.

DD2 I'll just update the title of this thread. No need to create a new one!

The guy tonight said when he started out doing this he had depression so when he jumped he either got an adrenaline high or he died, either way he won!

An absolute nutcase, however with balls the size of basketballs .It seemed he was inches away as he passed the first ridge.

Did anyone else think there was a "want" in this guy when you seen him interviewed ?

Crazy crazy f**ker yon boy and there is defiantly a "want" in him as it was put.

Speeds of over 100 mph...  Just waiting to be splattered over some rock face.

Exactly, this boy is just stupid, stupid beyond belief.  Why anyone would be so stupid is beyond me, stupid people piss me off, this is not even good, it just stupid.  Ive just turned it over as its complete manure.

Its far from stupid. Its revealing how the human body can be pushed to extreme limits through the power of the mind and adaption. Very interesting infact.
