Double Agent Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Called off because of wind. Well crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wind? Ummm, traveling downhill at 800 MPH seems like it would circumvent any crosswind. But I'm no engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wind? Can't they find a bigger pail to jump into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Read about this yesterday. Pretty cool stuff. Except for the wind part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This guy is absolutely insane, but incredibly cool at the same time. Red Bull Stratos is a scientific mission to 120,000 ft. Jumping from a stratospheric balloon one man will attempt to break the speed of sound in freefall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellab Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This was pretty cool. I watched the live feed on my iPad while watching the game. He really tumbled there for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Watched it live. Was kind of worried for the dude when he was tumbling at 750+mph but he managed to pull out of it. Pretty damned awesome I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Watched this with the family this weekend & thought it was pretty cool as well. I still say the dude is slap nuts. When he started spinning, I thought about switching the channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
