You're too quick!You caught me in the middle of my edit as I watched it again and saw the location. Doesn't really look insane to me either. I'd do it _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntbabex 0 #4 April 6, 2008 I think Id have more fun jumping out of the regular hot air balloon. Maybe thats just me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickDG 23 #7 April 7, 2008 Troy Hartman did something similar in the early 2000s. He floated from Lake Elsinore almost all the way to Temecula (about twenty miles.) And he landed with the balloons, after shooting some of them out with a pellet gun, which was way more an achievement than simply just jumping.

LongWayToFall 0 #8 April 7, 2008 It looks like he is getting some major help from the hot air ballon, when he releases he drops below them. Also, 10,000ft is lame. I would be interested in doing the same thing, but might as well make it 35,000ft or something coo. P.S. Is it just me or does he dump way too soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongWayToFall 0 #14 April 7, 2008 I hope they work out first. I heard that high altitude jump over the straight of Gibraltar was really exhausting towards the end. maybe a new suit design that is semi rigid? Sounds like a fun jump regardless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
