As I was doing my morning cardio at Greenwood Athletic Club, the TODAY show flashes a clip of someone I recognize, Jeb Corliss. I met Jeb Corliss at the Go Fast Games in Canyon City, Colorado a couple years ago. The guy always wears all black and knows he is good, very good at skydiving and in particular B.A.S.E. jumping. I photographed him doing several aerials off from the Royal Gorge Bridge and watched in amazement.
Apparently, Jeb wore a $15,000 fat man suit into the Empire State Building with the intent of jumping off. What a frickin nut. The Discovery Channel has since announced that they will be dropping him from the show he was apart of on their network. He faces several charges and it should be interesting to hear what he has to say. I just wish I could have saw him in the fat man suit.
