He has always struck me as being a bit of a spoilt and arrogant self-important prick to be honest, and this story just seems to bear that out.

Before this jump I had never heard of him, what I’ve heard since isn’t so impressive.

My kids were going on about his balloon jump, I said “When I was your age, men were going to the moon”.

Felix Bumgardener is just a total B list celebrity.

Being called a self important prick by a certain someone on Trucknet? He’s doing something right then :wink:

You are right, if I got any more self-important I would have to get a blog and a Lego model :wink:

Oh dear, misunderstood another post have we old chap.

The programme about his jump on Sunday night was good, but he did come across as a ■■■■■■

Enjoyed the footage of his jump though. Having done bungy and skydives, I can appreciate the balls it must’ve took him to stand up on the edge that capsule and throw himself off!
