Utter madness
Money to build a bowl and dangle it under a hot air balloon with a helicopter flying around it as well so someone can do the same tricks as on the ground....yet they can't run an ad campaign to raise awarenesses of their customers disposing of their empty cans properly so I don't have to clean up after them.
I'm a bit meh🤷♂️ about this one if you hadn't noticed.
Crazy!
This has been doing the rounds on Instagram the last few days and rightly so!
It’s pretty gnarly and has some consequences for sure! It very much looks like he is wearing a parachute I see. Kris’s riding is incredible and this has taken it to new heights (sorry 😂🙈)
I’m about to answer my own ponderings. I sort of don’t see why but equally because you can and someone else is paying. How often would you get the the chance to ride a bowl under a hot air balloon?!
Impressed but on the fence?!
Somewhat underwhelmed. The bowl is so small he can't really do much. So it's just a lot of up. I wonder how this compares in cost to Danny Mac's imaginate?
Ignoring the extravagant costs etc - like most RedBull edits, the result is less than the sum of its parts. Underwhelming isn’t quite the right word, but close.
That icepick though…..
A nice example of doing a thing because you can. As someone who is not mad keen on heights, it gave me the heeby jeebies.
Jumping the shark at its finest
I thought it was bonkers
great stuff!
I presume RB will be telling us how green they are next. All comes across and a but dull and pointless to me.
For sure wearing a rig, you can see the reserve handle in one of the cuts. I thought it might have been a BASE rig, but using that would have been illegal from an aircraft, or at least against the rules. 2000ft is pretty low for a normal main deployment though, I'm hoping he got told to go to the reserve instead of trying to pitch his main and, if he did go over the edge, I really hope he knows what is going to happen to his bike.
We get shit for doing a jump run over houses just in case we lose things on exit like a gopro. Flying a nice slow balloon low over a populated area makes great shots from the ground, but means less decision time if you have a mal and your dropped stuff hitting something that the insurance won't pay for. Still I guess Redbull bankrolled that and all the rules were followed, including Kriss having the necessary C license required for jumping a balloon.
