Ozzfest in Nijmegen, great festival/public. Also saw Slayer, Tool, Drowning Pool, Ill nino, Kitty, Within Temptation and After Forever, though I'm a bit done with metal, it was a phase in my life.
Tool rules.
For sure, I was standing there with chicken skin, in the good sense
Cool did you have binoculars? Where was this?
It's about the same as 30 yrs ago...
Nice to see Parker's thread, one of the few solid, long Getbig threads, hit 80 pages. Well done! Always liked this BOC vid, as it is truly spacy; and I think the crazy f*cker is still alive:
Blistering track... Yes, the guy is still alive, must be adrenalinehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_KittingerA bit similar like the BOC, Aphex Twin
size.[5][6] He set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (four minutes), and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere.[7] Captain Kittinger was next assigned to the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. For Project Excelsior (meaning "ever upward"), a name given to the project by Col. Stapp as part of research into high altitude bailouts,[citation needed] he made a series of three extreme altitude parachute jumps from an open gondola carried aloft by large helium balloons.Kittinger's first high-altitude jump, from about 76,400 feet (23,300 m) on November 16, 1959, was a near-disaster when an equipment malfunction caused him to lose consciousness.[2] The automatic parachute opener in his equipment saved his life. He went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of about 120 rpm. The g-forces at his extremities have been calculated to be over 22 times the force of gravity, setting another record.[citation needed] On December 11, 1959, he jumped again from about 74,700 feet (22,800 m). For that leap, Kittinger was awarded the A. Leo Stevens Parachute Medal.[citation needed]Kittinger's record-breaking skydiveOn August 16, 1960, he made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m).[2] Towing a small drogue parachute for initial stabilization, he fell for four minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 miles per hour (988 km/h)[3][4] before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal These are still current USAF records, but were not submitted for aerospace world records to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).[citation needed]Now, there's a real man's CV.
