120 miles an hour free fall, no parachute, and down to a net, on his back! First time ever in daredevil skydiving sports history.
This man is no ordinary skydiver; he has lots of experience behind him, and taught to some of the best.
It's worth reading and watching and learning. You won't find this on Twitter or Facebook. ...Or maybe; I don't know I did not check. :b

And the video from CNN (link) has been blocked due to copyrights. But youtube has all the videos, and better than CNN and it's free for everyone to see.
The guy is not a CNN executive, he's a true sportsman skydiving expert who's in it for the true spirit of the sport, pushing the limit in a healthy way, and unlike the financial stardom like many Russian olympic athletes, and from other countries too, with their performance enhancing drugs cheating and covered up by a bunch of no good players behind the scenes.

And this guy, Luke "skydiver/instructor/skywalker" Aikins, taught the other guy, Felix Baumgartner, who jumped from 25 miles above ground, and in doing so broke the sound barrier!


And both these guys own a turntable! :D
