When I met Peter in Italy with Space, I thought to myself that Peter was the most hardcore extremist and athlete that I have ever met, by far.

big deal i almost blew my ass off sticking a rocket up it
I was sticking my bloody ass to the sheets for weeks

Saw this guy jump into a gravel pit with that thing on Stunt Junkies.

Sketchy is not the word for it.

Canopy opened off heading. He jumped on the risers, barely made it over an outcropping....whoa.

Nice stunt.

If he had used the risers he probably would have.. He used toggles

 

any video of it online?

Not sure I'm following you? Are you claiming it is not possible to turn a canopy using toggle input? It sounds to me like you are...

I watched that clip probably 10 times, noticing how he used toggles to turn the canopy and how fast he was at reaching them.

If you see him using riser input we are not talking about the same clip

AH! hahaha, that's freak'n CRAZY................BUT AWESOME

You are right, we were not talking about the same video.
Cheers

The reason the rocket failed on the last jump inthat film is the exact reason we hang glider pilots do not use rocket propeled parachutes anymore.

(they are called BRS)

but that was not a rocket, it was a compressed air canon.

That stunt where they rear ended a car and did a horizontal header into the back of that trailer was amazing. Very impressive. I'm assuming it was all setup and intentional.

Wait a second.... he has a ROCKET powered PC yet he gets rescued in a ROWBOAT...... get the fuck out of here, thats retarded.

I loved that part too

OK, OK...... sweet 180 correction on the SDM video. he's redemed himself in my eyes... I'm sure he cares about that to. But for christ's sake somebody get that kid an outboard moter on his rescue boat, or at least a team of midgets to row the damn thing.

You dumb bastard.... that wasn't a rocket. It's called "the rabbit" and that little nubby thing is supposed to stay outside by her clitoris. Of course you ripped your ass! that's like pushing a large barbed spear through backwards. Next time, leave your girlfriend's toys alone if you don't know how they work!

It was an amped up version from the paragliding industry.
Paraglider pilots didn't like the extra weight. Funny thing is that the compressed air bottle manufacturers were named "Cliff Impact".

Hey Space, was that you at the beggining of the stunt junkies video? With the blond?

I saw that just the other day, from the camera angles the 'ledge' was clear from the bike jump... while it was a close call, I do not think it was as 'low' a BASE jump as they want you to believe.

I was the in the white Tshirt standing next to Gudrun (the blonde) in that clip.

I disagree. The bike hit around 125ft below the exit point. The 265ft That SJ titled was misleading. The ledge was at 110ft. The LZ at 265 below the exit point. Take another look at the video at the 37th second.
Take care,
