Katie swoops into moving car

Recommended Posts

That's awesome. I met Katie 10 years ago when she, myself and a bunch of other peeps were getting into BASE. At that time I don't think she had any ambitions for swooping. But I see she has become a swooper, and not only become a swooper, but she has become an awesome swooper. Good job. :ph34r:



Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

A cool stunt, but it was first performed on Top Gear over six years ago:



Maybe so but Katie is the first woman to have performed that landing :) She's been working pretty hard and is becoming a rather skilled skydiver and parachute pilot.

I believe Luigi Cani was the next person with JC driving in 2008, 2009??? (This is an edit. I found the video. It was uploaded in December of 2007. I don't know the original air date)

Other famous swooper dudes were landing in cars during the VOSS gig when Katie did her landing. Being the First woman to perform the feat is pretty bad ass... on a Petra no less. Nice Work Katie!

My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I didn't see where the op mentioned she was first.
Alls I see is someone who must have put in a lot of hard work, challenged herself, and set out what she intended to do.
Seems pretty cool to me, not to mention the video quality on her jump is so much better.
Have you done anything really cool lately?

Jesus, get more defensive. I said it was a cool stunt, and then pointed out that it had been done before as the OP was wondering if it was old news. Certainly didn't mean to imply that it didn't take hard work or that it wasn't a challenge.
