Watching Warship on Five at the mo', but intending to catch this loony bloke on the 4+1 channel afterwards.

Did anyone else wince as he was coming up to that first ridge on the Matterhorn?

Yep, he was very close and going very quickly!

These kind of documentaries do make me want to go sky diving, must be such a rush

[M3crab]

Amazing, would love to have a go.

[FWDRacer]

A great advert for psychological medication. Unhinged - if he laughed like that in restaurant you'd want him ejected. Via a window

Buggeration

[Spiritual_Beggar]

That....was bloody scary! I honestly thought he was going to smack rock!


What a rush! Fair play to him......He's lucky he's a mentalist, because I think you'd have to be in order to face something that scary!

Am I the only person who though they guy was a complete ahole?

Came across as a spoilt teenager with all his "If I die, you just need to deal with it" and "I'm not having a cast, I'll do it after the jump"

Was pretty cool from a "OMG, He is flying" point of view, just a shame the guy was such a bell-end

[Evangelion]

Yep, bit of a nutter but quite riveting all the same - some of that footage was awesome, particularly his trip down the Matterhorn.

Not so nice when his best mate got wasted, or when he landed in a tree and nearly got wasted himself.

Looking forward to future offerings in this series though.

[dudleybloke]

he's mad but not fearless enough to move out of his parents house!

the bridge interface was nasty but i dont think he felt any pain!

Nope, I thought that too, he also had a rather scary laugh.

Some amazing footage though.

I thought that was game over, frankly...

I commented on other thread that I thought it was a bit selfish of him to put his mum through that stress. Then to take pleasure from it is even worse.

Cool stuff though, i'd love to have a go.

Agreed.

I did think the threat of a prison sentance was an absolute joke, especially with the authorities trying to draw parallels with 'terrorism'. He is an incrediby skilled guy doing a (admittedly illegal) world renowed sport.

[El Guapo]

Missed it. Bugger. Hopefully it´ll be repeated on E4 or More4 soon.

[Snoop Bagg]

Thank Fook for SKY+ HD recorded the last part and probably spent 20-30 mins rewinding pausing playing incredible!
