nacmacfeegle 0 #7 January 21, 2004 Its old, do a search for Dead Mike, a lot of the gory stuff is from his site. The link from Zoo is at the bottom of the 'unprintable' page (from menu on the left hand side of the home page....) Its pretty ugly stuff folks, so don't go moaning at me..... Edit to add...

Zeemax 0 #8 January 21, 2004 Ok, heres the scans... The text probably isn't that readble, so here it is. Excuse typos, i'm lame... Mad people jump off very tall buildings Last weeks international Championship Of Extreme Skydive saw a group of unhinged adrenaline junkies descend on Malaysia to leap off the worlds tallest building. The distance between the top of the Malasian capital's Peronas Towers towers and the tarmac stands at an impressive 1483ft/425m/a bloody long way. As you can see, it takes an extra-special kind of fruit cake to voluntarily fall that far. The championship was part of the annual BASE (Buildings Antennas, Spans And Earth) Cup. Yep, these freaks do this stuff on a regular basis. Looks like a lovely view, but we'll stick to football, ta. Not too bad an article, but others may not agree.Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeemax 0 #13 January 22, 2004 QuoteSo Zeemax - why do you think this "not too bad"?? Because it doesn't say, 'jumpers die doing something very stupid' or 'they're a bunch of mindless twats'. When i read it, it gave me the impression they were quite impressed with the jump and that they didn't have the balls to do it. Theres no picture of someone dead, just a picture (real or not) of someone in free fall. I never said it was a great article, but at least its getting the sport into a mainstream media without damning it. If i were a wuffo and saw it, i'd probably want to start. you have to remember the kind of magazine its in, its target demogrpahic etc. Its written in a manner for its audience, which i think makes it a not too bad article. If you read it at face value, it may not seem that good, but this, as someone said, is an FHM style lads mag. As i said, that was just my opinion and i knew it wouldn't be shared by others. *edited as i get to ride the short bus*Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBKid 0 #25 January 22, 2004 Well, one of the guys in my office read it, showed it to others, casually mentioning that "Nick does that", now I'm a living legend. Or something. Crazy twat, that was it... Are Zoo and Nutz made by the same company, by any chance? I just find 2 men's weeklies coming out in the same fortnight a bit too much of a coincidence.
