Warning: It's about Jeb Corliss

really? are you sure?

I got a kick out of the mention of one of my long-time favourite sites, http://extremeironing.com. If anyone can figure out how to do it reasonably safely, I'd love to see a BASE entry on the site...

I've definitely seen a BASE extreme ironing shot before... stowed off of an E.

I'd love to see somebody ironing on a head-down skysurfer's board, but that's neither here nor there.

I believe there was also an ironing board gainer done from said E.

Photo here (that's just the first place google turned it up). If I recall correctly, it's RF off the O.

i'd like to see somebody do a zorb base jump... (see the bottom of the article if you have no clue what zorbing is... i definitely didnt...)

getting out of the zorb in freefall could be really interesting

On one of the Austrailian BASE video compilations
there is footage of a guy doing the Extreme Ironing
bit off of a lowish cliff.

That would be RF off the O that Tom mentioned.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought
E was for earth and O was for other, like a
crane, wind turbine, smoke stack, etc.

RF = Rob Fry or Rob Frye, either way the
ABA video indicated he was deceased so
I figure he desrves the credit and there is
little chance of him getting in trouble now.

Indeed it is Rob Fry off one of our popular E's here, the E's nickname begins with the letter "O".

Ooh, oh okay, I'm catching up, thanks bro.

From the video seemed like Rob was a wild & fun guy.
