Speedworld X-treme...
 Typically, I detest anything involved with the non-word "X-treme." This two-part video might be the lone exception. It was aired in 1995 on an early cable channel titled, "EuroSport."

Re: Speedworld X-treme...
Very cool footage.
Even the music gets tolerable after a few minutes.

Re: Speedworld X-treme...
That was fantastic. Any chance to see the Craig Breedlove crash footage where he walks away without a scratch is awesome.
Intersting choice of camera angle at 7:20 in the second clip... I guess they wanted to document the exact moment when he crapped his pants. |

Re: Speedworld X-treme...
Awesome Ryan! I was just a kid when Breedlove was doing his thing. He was the man in that rocket. I used to build airplane models and clip off the wings to resemble Spirit of America.

Re: Speedworld X-treme...
Got a total flashback when I saw those Marine World (Redwood City) boats. We used to go there as kids to see that and the waterskiing... Very, very cool.

Re: Speedworld X-treme...
Watching those chutes tear off the Spirit of America made my sphincter tighten. You know at that point it isn't gonna end well! I know I wouldn't have come out smiling like Breedlove did- I'd be looking for a new pair of trousers!
