    Incase some peeps might have missed it.....this jump he did in Vegas is pretty sick. The landing broke the webbing of his thumb.

    After that they probably were!!!!!

    The guy is crazy, but what a jump.

    Me, I get vertigo up a ladder, I would have been on my hands and knees just to go near the edge.

    I taught him everything he knows... his first jump ever was when he was 3. on his tricycle he jumped his sister........that one didn't turn out very good.... the second jump he jumped his sister and brother....That one turned out worse then the first.... but the third jump that was his sister brother mother and father.. now that one was a heck of a jump.

    Holy cow, that makes me wonder... how do you even rehearse that? It'd be kinda hard to ask some building owners if you can borrow their skyscraper for a few stunt runs.

    I heard him interviewed on a radio show, and he seemed like a very cool guy. He seems to dislike Robbie Knievel for one reason or another.... :wink:

    I read or heard some interview with him also. He talked about gradually building up the height and using the principles of physics and being able to effectively know where he would land every time. It also talked about him knowing his speed accurately just from the 'feel'.
