pchapman 279 #3 February 15, 2010 Hey, that's Bernie! Bernie Williams lived & jumped for a few years in Ontario too. He had a nice little freestanding tower close to his place out in the back woods where he invited me and other BASE friends. Haven't kept track of what he's been up to lately. I know little of his crazier younger days but it sounds like he broke a lot of stuff motorcycle racing (and ended up in a coma for a while), so BASE was really kind of mild for him. Nice to see he's still up to stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumgangster 0 #4 February 15, 2010 I don't get it, didn't ride the bike out of an AC, just static lined it hanging under a balloon, didn't even ride off after landing. Would rather watch vids of the delivery systems Strong Enterprises are developing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was filmed for That’s Incredible. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al Gore beat you to it.The article isn't entirely accurate about a few things, but there is a lot of enthusiasm for the project John is doing, so we'll likely see more media coverage over the next few months.

NWFlyer 2 #12 February 16, 2010 QuoteThe article isn't entirely accurate about a few things, You've said that twice now, but in a quick read of the article, I didn't catch anything that was obviously a case of the "parachute failed to open" type journalism typical of the whuffo media.
