In a weird way, if I were ever to base jump, I think I'd prefer to go off on a bike than just jumping. Maybe without the flips though.

I like how the bike has its own parachute.

[Mik]

I wouldn't want the risk of the bike hitting me.

Tom Cruise did that in one of his Mission Impossible movies.

For real.

Granted, no somersaults, but still...

And he did it multiple times!

I guess he's worth what they pay him.

He insists on doing his own stunts (can you imagine in insurance underwriter, LOL).

Have you seen the stunt where he's on the side of an airplane?

Yikes.

Some people would love to do that stuff for free, with no one watching. I suppose he has that personality type.

How would he get along at tncr?

Has he ever been the target of death threats? Hanging off planes and driving motorcycles off cliffs is one thing, but I wonder how he'd react to mentally ill TDS sufferers and their violent internet stalking. This forum is not for the faint of heart.

Tom Cruise…plenty of ammo to criticize him but damn if he isn’t a dying breed in Hollywood. Great acting, great…running, does many of his own stunts, has lucky genetics, and prioritizes the theater experience.

Don’t forget this footage he released in the midst of Covid to get folks back into the movies:

Australian freestyle motocross star Jayden Archer has died, reportedly crashing while practising the trick that made him famous.

Archer, 27, was the first motocross rider to land a triple backflip in competition, at the Nitro World Games in Brisbane in November 2022. Moments later, he proposed to his girlfriend.

He was killed while practising the trick at training in his hometown of Melbourne, according to ESPN.

Video of him doing it the first time.

As good a thread as any to post this:

As a scientologist he probably doesn't believe in mental illness.

Which is pretty ironic.

Jon would sting that.
