Thanks for the heads up Chris. Can't wait to see it !
This trend towards understanding BASE and the people that participate in this sport is an important step for society.
Fear kept us in the dark for so long, it is suprising to still see it rampant in BASE critics.

Is the day job going to be specified on 60 minutes?

If not what's the day job if it's not skiing?

We had a show like this on in the UK a few weeks ago. 'Proximity wingsuit flying' stuff featuring Jeb Corliss.

Dad's right... my day job DOES give me too many options to kill myself. Best to keep those simplified. Uhm - don't work?

I wanted to see the chute deployment. The 1 was not real clear.
The side by side I wondered about the photography also.

The ski shot was great also.
Anybody know what drink the green bottles were?

Regards Chute Deployment.
John Glenn in the Right Stuff fought for windows.
It looks as it (chute) maybe self pulled?

i was kinda surprised how well they put the piece together. no over hyping like you see so much in main stream media climbing pieces. then again, wingsuit base doesnt need much hyping...
