Hell yeah, that was the first one I saw and all I can say it Bob's got some balls of titanium. I mean hell, he slipped off the rail on the first one...if he'd botched that one any more it have been bye bye Bob. Tell you what, I've been skateboarding for close to 20 years. I've skated big vert ramps and there is no way in hell I would have dropped in on that freaking MONSTER of a ramp, much less slide a rail at the end into the grand canyon. That guy is freaking crazy. I definately wouldn't have the balls to try it with my 3yr old daughter standing there watching. Thats sort of sick and not in a good way, but he did it so what can I say, the guy is nuts.
The guy with the rocket propelled chute for base jumping was pretty crazy too. He almost ate the big one. You have to have a LOT of trust in that chute especially after it failed on him a few months earlier and almost killed him!
