Voted again because Kid with thumbs up in the bike pic here hit me in my soft spot. seems like he has only about 100 votes over one guy.

22

Yeah. He’s not winning by a huge margin so needs all the votes he can get!

Thanks for all the votes. Check out this video:

Wow… That man is dedicated. Props to him for not letting an accident or paralyzation stop him from doing what he loves.

If only everyone had the mindset that he does…

24

Props to this guy for sure. Huge props to everyone around him for giving him a lending hand. Its nice to see the heart of the friends he has picking him up and walking him to the ledge, having his back…etc. You know their are not enough people out there these days like the friends he has as well.

Voted again for sure on this.

When I first saw the image of him jumping in his wheel chair, I thought that was fantastic that he was able to enjoy his sport still. This video just takes that thought to the next level, how awesome of a feeling for him to be in free fall like that.

Voted (again)…this man is a true inspiration.

Watched that video last night. Very motivated and dedicated man.

Awesome that he won!

When he does a base jump like in the first pic w/ the wheelchair (which looks to be going into water) how does he get out? couple guys on the bottom or something?

T-up for winning the contest!

36

You don’t land in the water, well you can but most don’t. There is a landing area on the right side once you jump. From what I have heard when he goes on jump he has a couple guys for ground crew. Some objects require more attention/team work of others. Also from what I understand he has climbed fairly high antennas just with his arms which if you have never climbed a higher object(200ft+) it is very strenuous and tiring as it is.

37

wow thats awesome! Good for him, this is what happens when someone doesnt bitch about life and ends up grabbing it by the balls!

38

Hell yeah!

Hell yeah. I just signed up for a BASE jumping course in Idaho! I’m pumped.
