My best friend is there, he works for redbull and is responsible for a lot of the cameras and IT stuff that is in the related to the cameras. its intense stuff.

 

[iPhattMatt]

bout to jump~!

 

[DAVe3283]

122,000 feet! That is crazy high!

 

[hondarider552]

wtf Im watching it right now but Mythbusters is on...



Discoverty channel correct?

 

[iPhattMatt]

yes or YOUTUBE too

 

[hondarider552]

err nevermind, it's on now.

 

[iPhattMatt]

That was crazy!

729 MPH! mg::beavisnbutthead:

 

[hondarider552]

Hell im still watching him go past 10,000 feet.... kinda slow...

You would really think they would have done whatever it took to beat the freefall record .

 

[whitetrash21]

He broke 3 others, I'd call it a day after that. Pretty intense, got a little out of shape pre entry but got back under control. One helluva feat, even more impressive to think it was done over 50 years ago at over 100,000 ft.

 

[hondarider552]

I'm still at 56,000 feet lol

 

[Harbin_22]

I read up on the old record, he had something deployed the entire. time for stability. Only reach like 610 mph. Wonder if that is why he free fell longer

 

[Hot COCOAL]

I thought terminal velocity was 128 or 182 mph? That guy hit 700+mph during his fall? I would think at that velocity, the friction of just traveling thriugh the air @that speed would give you a burn, holy cow!

 

[hondarider552]

higher you go less pressure = less resistance

 

[Osubeaver]

I live about 5 minutes from the biggest skydive airport in Oregon and I won't do it. I bet when he slid that door open shit got real

Pretty cool (for somebody else to do).

He jumped from an altitude of 128,100 feet, that's 24.26 miles. Officially he hit 833.9 MPH. That's mach 1.24!
