I do not know how but there he is : http://www.iltalehti.fi/nettitv/?30226680

A quick translation of the text :

"Is this the craziest BASE jump ever?

Base-jumper Jeb Corliss, 34, found a secret gorge from Swiss alps through which he executed a extremely dangerously low base jump. Corliss flew through the gorge at 150km/h less than 2 meters off the ground. Even the tiniest false move in this kind of jump would be lethal. Route was so unbelievable experience for Corliss who has been a professional jumper for 11 years that he had to fly the route for nine times. He has previously jumped emong other places for example from Eiffel tower in Paris and from Space needle in Seattle. Video is shot in August 2010."

That's how the man pays for his trips so he needs to spice his storys a bit up :-)
"there was one other guy who did it... "

Liar, bullshits, lookatme lookatme, asshole, like always ...

PS : This is a personal attack, you can banned me (just do not bang me )

 

yes, he was definitly not the second person who flew this line.
and yes, there has been dozens who flew this line.

and i don't think he lied on purpose (maybe he did not know that this already was a very popular jump but was kept low profile as long as we could), i think he just blew up the story a bit to sell it better. i would not call this lying, i'd call it marketing

, i think he just blew up the story a bit to sell it better. i would not call this lying, i'd call it marketing
and thats an diplomatic answer, not that id like it :D

Sorry everyone, this was for a group that came to me asking to license the footage. I said ok no problem, then a few days later they asked me to set up a camera in my house and talk to it telling the story of this jump. I said no, interviews like that always turn out horrible and I can't just talk to a camera without someone asking me questions. So they called me on skype the next day and start asking me questions with a camera just set up in my living room. Stupid way to do an interview but no other way to do it at the time seeing they were in the UK. So they tried every way to get me to say I was the first person and I just kept saying, no there were others before me. They just kept asking it in different ways till they got me to say I had seen one other :) Then they edited it to look like this. I know and knew there were at least 4 guys that had flown that line before me. I think the French dude that did it first is the coolest person on the planet. To do that line for the first time will go down as the gnarliest thing I have ever seen ever :)

"Well guess what - I just did it."

Lots of people have now and many more will. Hell people have flown that line in a phantom 2.

I still think the first guy was the gnarly one though :)

Props for setting the story straight. Everyone knows the media sometimes twist and contort peoples words and stories.

What a great face for radio!

I just burned my Affliction shirts. Thanks asshole.

Am I the only person to think he's rampantly Ben and Jerry's?

Great jump. great skill. Very ballsy...and yet cockshrinkingly gay in the facial musculature. Kinda of like a puny man's Doug Spink and without the horse (and by horse I mean cocaine not the equine love beast on rent to travelling Scottish dignitaries).

The world of BASE jumping never changes. TFFT!

Trust you're keeping well, children.

$kin...out!

Sometimes?

Surely you mean always.

Newspapers are nothing but lies and propaganda.

Consistantly full of SHIT
