Very bold project & clean getaway... until posted on YouTube Video is causing quite a steer in St. Petersburg's media.

Nice one, I was actually dreaming of jumping that church when I was on a school trip to St. Petersburg a few years back, it looked low, wasn't even sure if it's possible.

p.s are the guys rock climbers by chance, I mean, they were doing lead climbing, safety first!

Here's another angle.

Speaking of videos, did anyone see Douggs's elevator jump. That's gotta be one of the coolest jump ever made.

Looks like they went back for another. Officials claim the video is a fake, but have none the less arrested someone for the act...

17 seconds under canopy... WTF!?

not only is it prolonging the time and the area/distance that you can be seen from, but i consider it also a terrible waste of altitude. Like, lets say, spilling beer...

Seriously: respect to those who dare sth like this in a place like that...

Umm, if the church claims the video is fake then whats the issue? Who is the complainant? Did the police witness the alleged act and are they pressing charges?

Seems to me there are plenty of holes in the case...

In any case, apparently the one who has ultimate jurisdiction over that church approved since they lived to tell about it.

Great 'alleged' jump!!
