25000ft, no parachute,  into a 30x30m net.... how is it even possible.
Bodybuilding related because he clearly has 100x the testosterone as any normal male

Next are 20x20, 10x10, and then 6 feet under.  He's after the asymptotic and will suffer for us.   :'(

he was accompanied by 4 other skydivers until they were sure he was over the net, they then pulled their chutes and he went into the net, if for one minute he wasnt going in that net they would have saved him.

It will be topped when someone does it unaccompanied.

Because simply landing in a net at 120mph isn't all that impressive, huh?

No it isnt impressive at all, the net was designed to take that impact.
He just had to hit it, and that was ensured before the guys hit their chutes.

A 42 year old that has logged over 18,000 jumps. I think he has had practice getting in line with the landing spot.

Stunts are just fuckwittery that people decide to air, most people were likely hoping he would miss the net.
everyone watching Evil Knievil wanted him to fall off, he generally obliged.

When a black lesbian vegan does it to bring recognition to the plight of third world crossdressing crippled child soldiers with autism.  They have a hell of a time.

The guy almost missed the net. Watch it again and see how close he comes to the edge. Very little room for error... It's not like he's dropping straight down. He's coming in from an angle at over 100mph. A gust of wind could have ended his life. There's no way he wanted to come that close to the edge when he landed. If it really is as simple as hiring a few MIT Math majors, then its safe to say this stunt will be broken within a year. A guy like Travis Pastrana would jump to the chance of doing this since is easy. lol. No way Travis goes near a jump like this. What this guy just did tops every Travis has ever done by the brass ball factor alone...My guess is if TRavis does it, he'll do it in a wing suit where you almost can't fail...

Same here, since with each generation , you keep passing down a torch whose light is fading increasingly weaker and weaker by each time its handed down to the next in line. Who will take over the mantle to defend the free world from the last generation.

And this is where I really enjoy Basile as an antagonist. The plans are far reaching, and involves so much and even if they look to backfire they might not have at all. For a way of life this might not be so important but I still enjoy the various servants to this deity of darkness, it tends to be much in the way of paperbags and corrupted great minds but also anything really. It also fits the Mirage Hotel to have this big schemist of raw intelligence, unpredictability at the helm.
