Frenchy68 0 #7 December 15, 2004 Locals knew about it before the 1st construction worker even showed up on the site! Much like that 1,776ft object scheduled to go up on the East coast. There already was a thread on it on the BASE forum MONTHS AGO!

chronistin 0 #8 December 15, 2004 QuoteBrand new bridge , 'above the clouds', highest in the world, could be a nice lob off you basers! Sorry folks, Felix Baumgartner already jumped it in June. Only link I've got is ORF (Austrian Broadcasting company) in german. There must be some info about this in english, but right now, I can't find it. Sorry.

Frenchy68 0 #9 December 15, 2004 QuoteSorry folks, Felix Baumgartner already jumped it in June. Which, if I'm not mistaken, did not sit well with the locals. Especially showing up with a video crew. Locals had been jumping it for quite some time. It was already hot, from what I was told. Felix turned it into pure lava!

chronistin 0 #10 December 15, 2004 Felix does lava-hot stuff all the time, and I can't say I'm always happy with it. Sometimes it's just dangerous, sometimes it looks downright silly. Then again, sometimes it's f*cking cool. all I really wanted to say is: This bridge is not a virgin any more :) [& if Felix was not the first, I'd appreciate any stories for my own site...] Chronistin (Home @ http://www.fallschirmspringer.net/) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frenchy68 0 #12 December 15, 2004 Quote[& if Felix was not the first, I'd appreciate any stories for my own site...] There are few people who posted on this thread who may be willing to give you more info. Or go on the BASE forum, and do a search (felix France).
