- teamquentin, on 05/11/2009, -0/+41Simpsons did it.
- Lyndoman, on 05/11/2009, -1/+16I wonder if this got him laid?
- tommyboy84, on 05/11/2009, -1/+13On a list of things you could never get me to do, that would appear quite high up I feel.
- Schmidtopolis, on 05/11/2009, -1/+13If he would have landed that to a transfer, as opposed to base diving, I would have been more impressed.
I love how they say if he misses the rail he will hit the wall... then he misses the rail, and it's still all good. - ToasterHead219, on 05/11/2009, -0/+10i wanna see this where the guy flys away in a wing suit
wing suit vid: http://www.vimeo.com/1778399 - uncertainty, on 05/11/2009, -1/+10Wait, so he messed up THEN wanted to do it again? Amazing.
- driftwood07, on 05/11/2009, -0/+8this is bob burnquist for anyone wondering.
- mobislink, on 05/11/2009, -0/+6It would be cool if the built the rail all the way down to the bottom and he slid all the way down. Yes, I know it is cartoonish but that what I want to see.
- glberns, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5"I'm not afraid of dying, but I love living. I'll use my fear to keep that in check" LOL.
- maxmccabe, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5It impressive, but the whole grinding along the rail doesnt seem that important as he messes up and is still fine..the clearly overplayed the danger of it all.
having said that, i wouldn't have the balls - martoq, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5Props for doing is a second time. Most people would have just did it once, said they did it and walk away.
- thebeginning, on 05/11/2009, -1/+6Uh. I can kickflip?
- ligyron, on 05/11/2009, -3/+8How could anyone feel accomplishment from something so random? Wouldn't sky diving off the grand canyon be enough?
- mizuhri, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5My biggest fear doing something like is the board slipping before you reach the end of the ramp and you falling, hitting your head on the ground and sliding off the edge to fall to your death.
- tpagrosk8, on 05/11/2009, -1/+5Evil Knievil didn't have a parachute.
- CBOOTY, on 05/11/2009, -0/+4Bob Burnquist is one of the best vert skaters in the world, but this is retarded. It reminds me of something that would be in the X-Games when it first started next to bungee jumping tied to a kayak.
- staffell, on 05/11/2009, -3/+7Ok now with no parachute, and land with the skateboard still under your feet.
- davegtturbo, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3That was freakin' sweet.
- bicyclethief, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3The entire ramp and skateboard seems superfluous to me.
- fxdbi, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3What a waste of two perfeclty good skateboards.
- ttam, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2he makes the jump into the grand canyon, then opens a parachute? where is the skill in that? I thought the impressive part of a jump was the landing.
- gllopc, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2When the aliens come to judge us, to decide whether we are worthy of continuing life on Earth, we should show videos like these.
- d3matt, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2set up a landing ramp at the bottom! Use one of those wingsuits to slow you down enough so when you land your going a bit slower...
For practice slowing down from 100+mph, he can ride behind a car on those long roads heading to the grand canyon!
OTOH, doing it with skis on might be easier... - zantos420, on 05/11/2009, -1/+3yeah but homer didn't make it.
in fact he fell, then fell again. - leif777, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2This is what you get when you mix lots of money and big giant balls.
- berobreo, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2And without parachute, ...
- robish518, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2Awesome... how 'bout Springfield gorge?
- colasrtney, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2It's so nice to be able to FForward to the good part. I remember networks stretching one stunt into an hour long program.
- christinme, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2Awesome.
- nubnub, on 05/12/2009, -0/+2meh
- limbride, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1Now that's how you base jump.. From the movie Seven Sunny Days.
- 7Wiseguy, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1Now that's ***** awesome!
- limbride, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1Yeah you probably do this kind of thing a lot, Mr.Stuntman.
- thegiancarlo, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1if he could only do that and then this http://digg.com/d1o2ab
- nik15, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1Yes it is
- searcade, on 05/11/2009, -3/+4Well a mirror for those who have trouble viewing the video:
http://www.uploadline.com/126274837596/skate.flv - d999w, on 05/12/2009, -0/+1Who gets to dismantle the goddamned jump? What do they just leave it there?
- limbride, on 05/11/2009, -1/+1I agree.. grinding off a cliff at 10mph isn't very impressive at all.. If he had a rocket board i would be mildly impressed..
Like this crazy Finn with rocket boots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ7zbta79vo - Greengoo, on 05/11/2009, -1/+1I'm guessing a guy with the balls to do something like this doesn't usually have the problem of not getting laid.
- tr909, on 05/11/2009, -0/+0more like 3 years ago.
- 1oneWON, on 05/11/2009, -3/+3That is absolutely insane, but pretty damn cool.
- d3matt, on 05/11/2009, -4/+3I love how he goes again! That takes some balls.
Evin Knievil didn't try again when his jump failed the first time! - williemain, on 05/11/2009, -4/+3bro!
- BingoPower, on 05/11/2009, -5/+4Holy. *****.
I can't think of the words, other than "That guy has balls so big, that stuff orbits around them".... - MiracleBlue, on 05/11/2009, -5/+4Fail. Didn't land it.
- cjennings, on 05/11/2009, -4/+2This was originally shown on the Discovery channel over a year ago.
- webadelic, on 05/11/2009, -3/+1drunk lottery winners.
- voteobama4, on 05/11/2009, -4/+348 diggs and it's down? Pathetic.
- formfactor, on 05/11/2009, -3/+1LOL, you stole my comment... I dont care though
