Dare devils
« on: September 14, 2009 »

Just watched the 1st ep of a new series on four called daredevils. Looks interesting. This one was about winged suit promimity flying were the participant jumps of a cliff or a building and tris to fly as close to the wall as possible at speeds of 100mph+. The guy was nuts, and the culmiation of the programe was his proxy flight down the matterhorn. He honestly must have been about 5ft from the ground it was unbelivable! Did anyone else see it?
Had to laugh at next weeks, some dude is gonna run a marathon in the artic with no training, in no more than his boxers!

Missed it chris, but ive seen someone run a marathon in the artic with just his boxers on, what i remember his circulasion was diffrenent from everyone,s. On the same show there was another guy that could do mathematics like a Calculator. It was a show off special people.

Ill have to watch it next week to see if the runner is him.

I heard that there was footage of some bloke getting killed hitting a bridge. Sounds gruesome.
