A former guildie shared this.

It's massive (64MB or so) but if you have fiber and are at work will take you 2min :) It's worth it if you like seeing maniacs.

Whoa, now that's something I would REALLY love to try. Is this legal though?

Yeah, it was probably the String Quartet that covers all sorts of different bands. You should listen to them do Tool.

I would pay good money to see something like that video on an IMAX screen. And even more get trained and to do it myself.(if I had it that is,heh)

i've been trying to find the name of hte man whos been puting this on, it was the dude who did the last jump and landed infront of the taxi


hes been doing this along time and comes off as a retard most of the time when he talks about the times he gets arrested for doing shit like this (same with his groupies), base jumping is fun but when you take it or want it to go to the professional level its just stupid, like air diving (which is only fun maybe a few times)

Because...? Even if I have a hard time seeing what "professional" base jumping or air diving would/could be or imply... Hmm care to explain?

Flying can't never stop to be fun!! :b (Did you air dive already btw? I so want to try once at least...)

I honestly didn't know myself, I would just find string quartet tributes to different stuff all over the place. I looked it up.

The company that seems to put them all out is Vitamin Records:

The range of artists that they do is amazing.

i have, its fun, doing it like 2-3 times and you still get a thrill, after that its more or less just enjoying a view

Because...? Even if I have a hard time seeing what "professional" base jumping or air diving would/could be or imply... Hmm care to explain?
because to get to the higher places you either 1 have to do a seriously long climb up a shady hill, or 2 go up one of the tall building structures such as the eifle tower or a building in NY

i'd rather do one 3 minute air dive then spend months of jumping off rocks for a 4 second thrill
