I think this is noteworthy, to say the least. Look at the image to see what his "most visually difficult jump" involved.

From Facebook:

"Want to say thank you to the Epic people who helped me line up study and make happen my most visually difficult jump to date . I can say we did it on the first try and the team had no doubt in the precision possible , everybody came together and we did 3 jumps in 1 day . First 2 jumps where the 2013 targets and the 3rd well hope to be showing the video soon in a spectacular manner . Its all about the people we had 10 days of total awesomeness hanging out all together in a rented house in spain ,eating awesome food playing like kids making this dream happen . The joy of the jump is just as much as the joy of having spent those days in that company and in that state of mind . Good thoughts to all of you ." - Alexander Polli

I'll summarize the likely direction of this thread outright in hopes that nobody gets to heated about it:

- someone will say that he upstaged Jeb's china event.
- someone will say that he is pushing the limit too far.
- someone will say that he is awesome, skilled and well prepared.
- someone will say MONGOLOID! (I'm not privy to what that means, but I suspect it's pretty funny)

I will only sit here, jaw agape, thinking "holy shit that's impressive" while waiting impatiently for the video to surface

That's not that impressive.

I could get a piece of thread through there on the first try also!?

Fully Mongoloid!!!! (I don't know what that means either, but I didn't want to disappoint you by leaving this out)

He is pushing the limit too far.

From Urban Dictionary:

1. mongoloid

A derogatory term for a mentally retarded person.

2. mongoloid

Term for a mentally retarded person. This used to be used to denote people with Down's Syndrome, and now is just generally derogatory.


I also await the video with anticipation! I mean I would never do something like that but if someone else wants too at least there is gopro footage.

He is awesome, skilled and well prepared.

He's upstaged Jebs China event.

I'm heated about this.

 

my thoughts:

hes gone and upstaged jeb's event
he is truly pushing the limit too fucking far
alex is AWESOME, HIGHLY SKILLED AND VERY WELL PREPARED!

MONGOLOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it's not butter....

I can believe it...Smooth luscious butter.

I see those 2 guys in the picture at the top with those cables suspending him!

INSANE flight!

Don't they usually have someone cut those bushes down?

he was probably on acid, that irresponsible crackhead

Moocho moocho, Mongoloid

I can't believe....




....people don't know what a Mongoloid is!

; initially likening Downies to Mongols due to their eye shape, it is now, correctly outlined by Urban Dictionary, simply used to describe any intellectually retarded person.

You're all too kind, I use it on a daily basis!
