THRILLBILLIES DOUBLE WIDE PREMIERE
I got to go to the premier of the new thrillbillies double wide movie last night. It was starring travis pastrana and several others. They did do several base jumps and even what i believe is a new innovation. At least i have never seen any one do tricycle base. Although it did look kind of like an unstable exit. Travis did do a couple "less than legal" Jumps. One from a moving camping trailer off of a bridge and the other off some building which i am told by my friend who helped make the movie was somewhere in London. From what i have read on this site I have come to find that base jumpers extremely hate it when people burn objects. I was happy to see that they treated these jumps very well by filming them in a way that the location would not be disclosed. They also did the b jump at night. I was excited to be able to meet Travis. I wanted to ask him a little about his skydiving and base experience. I didn't get to ask him much. All I really got out of him is he had about 30 skydives when he did his first base jump. I think him and the other people are addicted to injuries haha.

Other than base jumping they did do a lot of other things. Including set a new world record by sitting on a garbage can being pulled at 70 miles an hour, the first ever 2 person back flip on a motorcycle with a midget, a backflip on a tricycle off a big air jump, and lots of other extreme stuff.

Well i thought it was an awesome movie you all should check it out.
