Yes Phil, you do.. Also, anyone that can capture TV and put it out on the cyber-net-inter-web thing that would rock... The Promos for the finale lead off on most commercial breaks with wingsuit footage, and its a great promo for what should be a great show! anyone can get the promo too that would rock!

Thanks All~

As one who doesn't have cable, is it available online anywhere like the 60 Minutes show was?

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

that should read: anyone who *has* cable, make it available online please? :)


Not necessarily. The 60 Minutes segment was available on the CBS web site.

Yes, after what was actually a great segment, you choose the one wrong bit of info to bitch about?

For once they don't claim we are "death defying" or "the most dangerous thing in skydiving" and you decide to complain?

We are given a great platform to speak eloquently about the sport, and you choose this one bit of info to decide you need to "purge quickly"?

We had host who actually came quite prepared and informed on skydiving, and asked intelligent well thought out questions, and you claim "no no no not good"?

FYI...He actually messaged us frantically for a correction, because he knew it was a mistake, sadly it was too late to correct for the air date.

Wingsuiting have been hyped all week on a NATIONAL cable channel, and you think something has "gone awry"?

Seriously...are any of you ever happy? Must there ALWAYS be an argument? I will tell you whats gone awry...I know what needs purged quickly...its this fucking forum and all the idiots in it. When was the last positive thing posted? Hell...people even placed a negative comment over Matt Hoovers book! Someone does their first flight...and all you can do is take out agendas over suit choices...

Get over yourselves...

Oh and to leave on a positive note, I just got a completely random email (found me through raise the sky)...This person saw the show and wants to start skydiving so he can go wingsuiting. I was fairly impressed he actually took the time to find an email address and ask for more info. Guess the show wasn't so bad after all huh??

edit to fix links...nothing else
