Re: [FIREFLYR] BASE from London Eye

How would you know? It was obviously possible to do without being noticed.J ust because you haven't been invited doesn't mean it isn't being done. *It's called a secret*
I don't know of anyone jumping it ....but then, why would I?

You ever opened an object Jamie?
You know what's coming next? How do you know? What makes you think the thing you just jumped for (what you think is) the first time, wasn't jumped twice the night before?
Because all the evidence points to the contrary. It's a small world, word gets around and if you ask enough questions and keep your ears open, and are generally active in your area, you generally know.
If you don't have faith in that then the 'ask the locals' idea just took a dive right out the window.
Gary did astonishingly well to bag this jump. No question about it. Hats off to the guy. Unlike Greeny though, i didn't think taking it to the press was done in good taste. I thought it was tacky and cheapened an otherwise brilliant achievement.
However, seeing it through his eyes, as a stuntman, it undoubtedly looks good on his CV and must add kudos and credibility to him in his chosen profession.
With that in mind, maybe i was wrong to attribute it to simple ego. Bankability as a stuntman is a far greater motive for sure.
