First of all, holy shit.

Second of all, where is that? Is that the Swiss Alps? I've never seen such a drop.

That's probably the most unbelievable youtube video I've ever seen.

That'd be funny as hell if you were driving on that road and you got passed by a flying dood.

That's pretty cool, but I can do you one better.

A military jumping expert began working with NASA and the Air Force during the 1960s to study what would happen if someone were to actual fall to Earth out of the upper atmosphere. So he rode a platform on a weather balloon up into the extreme low-pressure zone and jumped off. He jumped off. He jumped right the fuck off. Luckily, there was film. Enjoy.

Swam... that video confuses me a little bit. So he jumped from the upper atmosphere (to crappy 70s synthesizer music nonetheless) wearing some sort of space suit and landed in the water and all of the sudden had a surfboard and dolphins were swimming with him.

On top of that - how'd they get the third person view of him falling? Did someone else fall with him?



I know, I know - MoTown thinks too much.

Just came back from off the coast of Cali, Cortes Bank, about 100 miles out. Had to be towed by jet ski to get on this mutha.

It's really Mike Parsons at Jaws.. like you ever really believed my dumb ass.

Here's a little something I did with my buddy to start the summer off right (you can see my face for a split second if you look close enough)

Hey, screw you buddy! >=| That's Boards of Canada, the best band ever in the history of the world. 100% pure [smilie=blaha.gif].


wearing some sort of space suit and landed in the water and all of the sudden had a surfboard and dolphins were swimming with him.

No, in reality he just opened a parachute at some point. The whole surfing thing was just done for the music video.


On top of that - how'd they get the third person view of him falling? Did someone else fall with him?

There were three cameras collecting film of the jump. One was mounted to the top of the platform. The second was strapped to the helmet. The third was underneath the platform.

Anyway, for more "crappy 70's synthesizer music" check this out.

Swami,

I would like to take a second to apologize from my previous offensive statement. It was insensitive of me to not only insult Mr. Joseph Kittinger, but also to insult the "Boards of Canada."

After recognizing my error, I researched the "Boards of Canada" and found that they are, in fact, Scottish. That is all.

Sincerely,

MoTown

Swami,

Your new avatar is very mystical.

Please don't curse me or the site.

Thanks in advance,

G

p.s. Can I get 3 wishes?
