ridestrong 1 #28 May 19, 2010 QuoteWho wants to place bets on another problem keeping this guy on the ground... Um... yeah.... this guy's a loser. All these strange "accidents" that foil his attempt to get off the ground. I think he is obsessed with all the attention in putting this together but is too scared to actually go through with it. Until he gets off the ground in a serious attempt without bailouts, this guy is a douche in my book.*I am not afraid of dying...

Babelfish Translation: Quote Michel Baker. This name does not speak to you inevitably… It is that of a champion of jumps to high-altitude. Born on May 4, 1944 in Combining it, this colonel parachutist of reserve has more than 9.000 jumps to his credit, the record of France to 12.000 meters and more than one hundred of jumps to high-altitude. He has devoted for several years his life to an extraordinary project: to carry out a jump in freefall with more than 40.000 meters. The next attempt will take place in May 2011. Michel Fournier will be, Thursday, at the Puy-en-Velay to evoke his formidable challenge in front of schoolboys ponots.

piisfish 135 #35 August 4, 2011 Quote 02 août 2011 Bad News 16:04 - Par Michel Bad news, First of all I would like to thank all the people who support and help me. Courage for we will gain this marvellous challenge yet. Unfortunately, the Big Jump will not take place in August for two reasons : - My budget is not complete and, - I will not be able to have my balloon in Canada before September 15th, there for the MTO window will be closed. Thank you for your support. With all my sincerity, Michel not this year....scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
