Saw him first time during a visit to NY. They had him on the breakfast show and showed the video "hitting the crack" or something (you can find it on youtube under "probably the craziest guy in the world". The interviewer asked him if there is something in life he is scared of. He sat for a couple of seconds and replied "No, not what I can think of at the moment". Crazy dude!

geeees... just watched it again. I've seen a couple of guys doing this but not as mad as this guy. I wondered how he even managed to pull the parachute after that collusion.

Grinding the Crack is the vid referred to above, and here it is (I know it's a repost, so please don't burn me alive, I just thought it was thread appropriate):


Jeb has also been banned for life from the Empire State building for base jumping off it. He's flown his wingsuit down the matterhorn, and even through a waterfall.

The dude is insane!

Once he said that he's ok with death, so if he crashes and dies, or he lands safely, it's a victory either way.

Love the band in the background.
Out of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance.My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the years,Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.
