That's fucked, dude, you know how few soccer fields there are these days?! That guy must be some kind of clown.................

yes.

the A****n classic. The way I heard it, the city, which owns the S allows stunts from it under movie permits with proper insurance. So the organizer for 2/3 year kept getting the said permit and having a bridge-day like competition. After those few years the authorities realized that purpose was NOT to shoot a movie about BASE jumping, but to just BASE jump :).

That landing area sucks so bad.

Peak2Peak Gondola? when did this happen? I thought they JUST completed this. SW Canada?
