Red Bull Stratos will see the world's greatest BASE jumper, Felix Baumgartner, rise to more than 36,500m (120,000 feet) in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump back to the earth at supersonic speed before parachuting to the ground. Red Bull Stratos -- Aerial Sports Videos -- Red Bull
Brave man (Joe), What a guy step into the unknown without knowing if you will live or die! :S I see redbull tried to claim they had the idea....! Only unmpteen years too late! They had to settle the case out of court in 2011. Felix Baumgartner still has NEVER made the jump...(I think) See here See matey flips him the bird at the end prob saying "you nutter"...lol
I remember the first time I saw the footage of Joe Kittinger's drop from the on board cameras. He was literally just sat on a chair bolted to the gubbings of the rig and he just stands up...and steps off...like it ain't no thing! If matey gets into a spin at 700 mph, he'll end up equally distributed in his gloves, boots and helmet.
And "trying" to brake a record that stands for 50 Years!!!! Joe I feel is more of a nutter than this chap just for doing something like that so long ago
Has anyone seen these guys? nothing like what the other guy is doing, but still takes some balls? its called Grinding the Crack, i'm sorry Giv if its not what you thought it was by the title edited to embed video
