tylermx138 0 #1 November 30, 2007 Travis Pastrana, the one who won the X Games by being the first one to pull a double back flip on a dirt bike, recently skydived with no parachute. Here is a video clip of his new movie Nitro Circus 5 where he jumps out of a cessna with nothing but shorts, socks, and a red bull! This guy really likes pushing the limits! Enjoy! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=22195954 Here is a link to the article http://expn.go.com/expn/story?id=3055619 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cutaway1 3 #4 November 30, 2007 Was he wearing some kind of harness underneath his shorts that the other guy attached to? If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't of believed it. Amazing!SCR-21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tylermx138 0 #5 December 2, 2007 Yes, i read somewhere in the article about it that he had a harness on underneath his shorts... Im guessing it was just a simple harness the went around the waist with leg straps and a couple hooks for attachment points... Really not sure what it looks like but he was wearing one.

BGill 0 #6 December 2, 2007 i don't really see why this belongs in the freelying forum, but what the hell. there is already another thread in either general or bonfire about this event, so talks would probably be better suited in that thread. it was mentioned in that thread that he was wearing a climbing harness of sorts under his shorts.

VincentVL. 0 #10 December 8, 2007 QuoteQuoteWow, I just lost some respect for Mr. Pastrana. I second that... Sorry to dig up this topic. But why have you lost respect for him? Why do you care? The only thing he did that I didn't like was drop the can. So tell me. What does this have to do with "respect". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoZ3r 0 #11 December 9, 2007 Don't be sorry for doing that I just think it's a bad thing for the sport to give people the idea of skydiving without a rig is a good idea... And well... I know some people whom would be dumb enough to try it themselves, and I guess that is just my opinion... If everything seems under control.. You're just not going fast enough..!

rhys 0 #18 December 27, 2007 QuoteTravis Pastrana, first class idiot. I bet penty of people called the wright brothers idiots and the fist guys that parachuted. AJ hacket was called an idiot but now bungee jumping is a multi million dollar industry. Define idiot if you will please? I wouldn't do that stunt but it was quite calculated and it worked very well."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tylermx138 0 #19 December 27, 2007 Yeah i agree, he might be crazy but he definitely thinks things through before goin through with the actual stunt. In his new movie, Nitro Circus 5 "Thrillbillies", there is so many dangerous stunts but all well thought out. If anyone has the opportunity to see this movie take it, will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time, dirt bikes, monster trucks, rally cars, snowmobiles jumpin 260 foot gaps, alot of base footage and got a good 7 - 10 minute section of base at the grand canyon, definitely a must see!

hookitt 0 #20 January 4, 2008 Quote I just think it's a bad thing for the sport to give people the idea of skydiving without a rig is a good idea... Seriously? Bad for the sport? How? Even if he went in, how is it bad for the sport? surely it would be bad for some people but as a whole, who cares. Do you think people en masse will suddenly have the urge to jump with out a rig? Most skydivers don't even know who Travis is let alone he jumped without a rig. It was pretty ballsy and I won't put it into the GOOD idea category but certainly have no inclination to believe it was bad for anything. Personally, I think it's a bad idea to put thoughts in the heads of non-jumpers that skydiving is a good idea. But if someone wants to jump, I'll be happy to teach them. Now for the short reply: Awesome!My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AfricanKid 0 #22 January 8, 2008 in my opinio its not a well calculated risc.. if the guy has a pre mature opening for some reason he would be mash... but coz it all worked out well i thing its really cool... (must be an awsum feeling jumping out a plane without a rig...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytrybe 0 #23 January 8, 2008 I'm curious to know where this took place and who are the others involved, it's clear they know what they are doing. Stunts like that take a lot of thinking, I'm pretty sure the thought about the premature possibility, maybe had a plan B out of frame.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tylermx138 0 #24 January 8, 2008 I'm pretty sure i read were it took place at a DZ in Puerto Rico cuz no one in the states was willing to participate... But i coul be wrong, but i think i read that in an article somewhere! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
