Re: [deadmanwalking] Salt Lake City in the news
Same stories again....
Quoted: "Stunts like this get a lot of attention, but experts say, due to the illegality of most jumps, the people doing them often face additional risks."
Jumping by itself is not illegal.
"Maybe the conditions might not be ideal, but say you've made it to a rooftop and you've gone through everything to get there, and so you might go ahead and take that jump, where you might have waited for an hour for the winds if you weren't rushed," said Jon DeVore, manager of Red Bull Air Force. "
Right. Of course. RB implies they do it right, and the others wrong.
Surely, you only try this with good conditions. I have seen RB jumps in shitty conditions, but of course, there $ and exposure get in so it is good for the sport.
