Yeah 10-4. Sweet clip and yeah he is a little off. But damn...gotta admire his free spirit. i think that is what drives us all to go out and "go
for it" in whatever we do!!
Everybody gets to die....but not everyone truly lives.

Very impressive but the margin of error is so thin and the results so catastrophic if you fail, it makes me shudder.
This video was floating around some years ago - also very impressive.

I saw a documentary on that guy on Channel 4 here in the UK. Very interesting guy, he's pretty open about the fact that he has been suicidal in the
past, and viewed base jumping as a shortcut to either glory or suicide.
I can't watch the vid because I'm at work, but I remember that in the TV show I saw, his buddy slammed into the bridge in Colorado. Not much fun for
the people watching.
