A little outside of the purview of BASE jumping. But in America, lawyers rule.

Anyone know this Mr. Hogan guy?

Merits of the lawsuit seem dubious.

Maybe Leonardo will sue PD & Atair.

I think he may have advised Cheryl Stearns on her interest in making the world's highest skydive back in the 1990s. What's needed to make it happen is fairly simple conceptionally. However, the mechanics of it and the actual engineering of it is much more difficult than just a concept.

I first thought this was an joke, but it seems like it is at least on a hold. I will be quite impressed if he can terminate Felix project.

Article from the day they filed in court back in April of 2010. So Red Bull has been sitting on it for 6 months before pulling the plug with the announcement today.

hogan wanted millions of dollars to go away. he essentially proposed the same shit that was done back in the 1960s to make the world's highest skydive. does anyone here know who he is?

He is a retired wrestler and has his own reality tv show. Altough it is not nature, he also has blonde hair.

The law firm, a pricey one at that, removed the compliant from their site yesterday. I'm sure if you dig deep enough into the Los Angeles court filing they will have it. For Red Bull to pull the plug at this time due to litigation does make one wonder.

Not at you Tizzy,
I was the one to suggest this to FB in 2003.

Lol, Space you need to get yourself one of those pricey law firms and get a piece of the pie.

Are you also going to sue RB

No, it would be morally unacceptable in my opinion.
RB has done so much for the stunt world. DM rocks.

There is different opinions on some task´s and projects, but yeah they have rised the bar and level for extreme sport events.

There is not like they have been given away money, but they are good at giving promotion to those who is willing to use their tents and drinks!

Subsidizing families of stunt peeps whose stunt came up short, only for starters.
DM rocks.

+1

The concept is so amazing that it must be accomplished.

+1 to anybody who stops FB.

+2
I have to agree. Go for it. That FB guy is like a bull. A red one maybe but a bull all the the same. Total respect if one can stop him.
Take care,
