z-layrex Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 I hope he jumps soon I have to go to work in an hour.
leicsmac Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Balloon at float height. Jump decision confirmed. Any minute now. Edit: still ascending! They're going to stop the ascent manually by venting some helium from the balloon.

leicsmac Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Anyone else think Kittinger (as CAPCOM, communicating with Felix) rocks? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=509812079048906&set=a.194351477261636.52962.144163005613817&type=1 Atta-BOY!
leicsmac Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Some unreal views from the camera there. Curve of the Earth visible, looks amazing.

The Year Of The Fox Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Gobsmacked. Be gutting if he flies into the heli
leicsmac Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Wow...touched down on his feet like a feather. Amazing. 3 records set.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 That was pretty AWESOME! (Proper use of the word there you understand.)
GLC Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Felix is going to be knee deep in clunge after that jump
EnderbyFox Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Anyone hear what he said before he jumped? "Sometimes you have to get up really high to see how small you are. I'm going home now" Legend!
FoxesAreBlue Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Would have been better if the f****** commentator didn't keep talking over the radio transmissions ffs. But awesome all the same.
leicsmac Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 Anyone hear what he said before he jumped? "Sometimes you have to get up really high to see how small you are. I'm going home now" Legend! The man has testicles the size of melons. Felix is going to be knee deep in clunge after that jump Which will be a good chance for him to reduce the size of the aforementioned body parts.
Narborough_fox Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 He's definitely been mentored by Gareth Bale to produce such a brilliant dive. Huge respect for the guy!
Amin Posted 14 October 2012 Posted 14 October 2012 I was really nervous watching that, especially when he started spinning. Really glad he landed safetly. Great achievement.
