katecooper 0 #1 June 6, 2003 USA network, Monday, 9 June (don't know what time in your area). It's supposedly being shown in 65 countries, so check your local networks. It's a good show. A great show. I know, because I've seen it. Twice. I was lucky enough to work crew for a skydiving demo into the event, and was on site at the Paramount Studios all weekend while they were filming it. Two skydivers get awards. I will not tell more (unless you really want me to spoil the show) but that alone should make you want to watch or tape it. You might see me in the background--I'm the one dressed in black. blue skies k8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katecooper 0 #5 June 6, 2003 less is more, But you'll most likely not see me on tv unless there are shots of the red carpet demo performed (excellently, I might add) by Felix Baumgartner. Again, good show, worth seeing. k8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jceman 1 #8 June 6, 2003 QuoteQuoteclickety-click Thanks for the heads-up; looking forward to it! ... Thanks a lot Mark! You could have warned us, you know. Kate did. If we wanted to know, we could have followed the link to the awards; some of us may have wanted to have at least a bit of uncertainty to pique our interest. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, although skydivers are recognized and that should be celebrated by us, Hollyweird is drowning in "awards" and award shows. It's not enough for stuntmen to have their own union and benefits, etc., now they have to have their own "academy" and "awards show". Geez, what's next? The "Greensmen's Awards"? "Best Gaffer"? "Best Clapper Loader"? "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katecooper 0 #11 June 6, 2003 They aren't important--they're fun :-) The official name of this event is the Taurus World Stunt Awards. Taurus is a thinly veiled cover for Red Bull. It's in Red Bull's best interest to get extreme stuff on TV. It's all good, it's all fun. There was a LOT of red bull available at the awards. Who needs to sleep? :-) k8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #13 June 6, 2003 Quick write up of the event in USA today today. They did a 2 page article on stuntpeople and the risks that they take. They mentioned a few peoples names so its a tad of a spoiler...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #14 June 7, 2003 In setting the TiVo I noticed that this is slated to air at 5pm PST on Monday, but you might wanna check your local listings.

LouDiamond 1 #23 June 10, 2003 UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE!! That was a kick ass stunt and some awesome flying.

jillr 0 #24 June 10, 2003 I'll second that emotion about the opening. My 8 year old turned and looked at me and said "mom, that isn't what your openings look like, do they?"... "no dear. no they do not..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
