Don't cheat yourself.....you have to at least see the last one!:eek
 
Wow.
 
Those people are ALL nutz.
 
There is no doubt Travis is NUTS:ack He lives about 40 minutes from me and KDO GT. Travis and KDO GT's boss are very good friends as well as they live around the corner from one another.

That was Travis Pastrana.
 
I don't think Travis drinks at all.
 
How did the blender jump I did for black and decker not make the top ten??? :frown :lol

Two things. The wing suit guys shooting the ridge are crazy. I have one of those suits and it takes a lot of concentration to hold it together flying it from 14,000 ft to 3,000 ft. I would not want to be anywhere that close to the ground. Your margin for error is zero. A guy tried to fly under a bridge with one and hit the bridge instead. :eek

The Kittinger jump was insane. Gear in the 60's was not that great. During one of the practice jumps at 80,000 ft he flipped through the harness on opening of the parachute and almost hung himself, having to cut multiple lines of the parachute to untangle. On the final jump his left glove on the pressure suit failed and his hand grew to 4 times its normal size. :eek He did not tell anyone as he watched it grow for fear they would tell him to jump early. :willy :willy

That man had true testicular fortitude!! :thumbsup:thumbsup

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA Right:rofl
 
Figures you'd know all about this. I was gonna say that last jump was probably a shot of you!!! LOL.

Personally, I LOVE your B&D Margarita commercial. You should post a link to it. Top 11 I guess?
