Well we've had threads on "The Men Who Stare At Goats" and "The Men Who Stare At Screens" so thought I would start a new one!
Did any one watch "The Men Who Jump Off Buildings" on Channel 4 last night? Amazing documentary about a couple of base jumpers, if you didnt catch it then I'd definitely recommend a viewing on 4OD (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-men-who-jump-off-buildings). Don't want to spoil it for any one, but lets just say there are a few toe curling moments to say the least :o

Watched it myself, I do a bit of skydiving and have been thinking about base jumping now for the past 5 years.
There is a place in Norway that will train you by starting off jumping out of a hot air balloon then you progress onto the Fjords which would be pretty cool.
Though, after watching last night I might just put it off for another 5 years!!
