(For all you non-Muricans, that's 27,400m)
Pretty sure the guy at 2:57 is [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger"]Joseph Kittinger[/URL]
They didn't even show any like helmet cam footage or anything of him falling from that high up..? Waste of 3 minutes
It's literally like 2 minutes of people talking how amazing it is, 2 seconds of footage from the height and then a few seconds of seeing him parachuting a couple thousand feet up and then telling how amazing it was

They're being teases because the jump from 120,000 feet is next month and they want us to get the "full experience" of the awesomeness
Red Bull sure has deep pockets now days, dayum
This is why I love Red Bull much more than Munstur EEEEEnergy.
Why is red bull so amazing
If redbull gives you wings why was he using a parachute?
until I see the footage of him actually doing it, im calling BS

Why. It's not like he's doing something new, people have been going into space for over 40 years and your calling bullshit on something that been done before.
Quite the amazing view from up there...dreamlike.
I normally hate how Red Bull is pretty much the next Monster, but they do awesome shit like this, which alleviates that.
I really love RedBull - Because they fund amazing action sports and stuff like this. They seem to be all about innovating sports and supporting the best of the best action athletes.
It's pretty great that they do stuff like this. But no matter how many sweet ass stunts they pull off it doesn't really make their drink taste any better.

Actually I'm pretty sure he is doing something new. People haven't base jumped from this high before. This is new ground for humanity, even if it's not the highest we have ever gone before.
It's one thing to come down to Earth in an armored capsule capable of re-entry. It's quite another to jump off relying on nothing but your space suit and parachute.

That doesn't mean it's bullshit though, just that it's amazing.

Not always. For some sports such as Moto and DH, it's pretty competitive with the sponsoring of athletes by Energy drink companies.
