Thanks for the link - some truly awesome footage there.

Crazy, yet cool st. All the stunts/jumps he pulled. yikes

Good on him for having the balls to do it. Clearly an adrenaline junkie.

Cheers for posting this, was annoyed when I missed it the first time round. Good to see perris valley in there as that's where I did AFF smile. Makes me want to take up skydiving again..!

I think the guy (Jeb) is a bit wierd to be honest, he seems to play on the 'i'm crazy' thing.

As said above though, some of the things he has done are amazing. His latest plan is to actually land a wingsuit without deploying a parachute (and without splatting!).

If you liked the footage from this programme then you should check out skydivingmovies.com.

Look for 'small balls tracking' and 'gravity rebels' - they are on that site and are amazing.

If the site doesn't work I'll upload them somewhere.
