Video: Wingsuit Daredevil Jeb Corliss Will Fly Through a Mountain Cave in China

By Samantha Cook; Photograph courtesy Jeb Corliss

Professional wingsuit flyer Jeb Corliss hit the Web a couple weeks ago with a video in which he throws himself off a 7,000-foot cliff and tries to grab a pair of balloons held by a member of his crew on the ground, while flying at a speed of 122 miles per hour. Now he will attempt something even more outrageous. See the video below of his recent trial flight.



On Saturday (which works out to be 1 am EST on Friday) Jeb will jump from a helicopter hovering at around 6,000 feet and fly through a cave located on top of Tianmen Mountain in the Hunan Province, China (photo above). He will continue his flight through a narrow gorge over staircases covered with spectators for about a mile until he can finally open his parachute.

Jeb will be using a new wing suit that gives him more control than ever. However, the jump is still extremely risky. “This is by far the most challenging project of my life to date and the most committing,” he said.  The most dangerous part of the flight will be the gorge. “I will be in a no-pull zone with no outs of any kind for almost 40 seconds. I will literally have to fly to live.”

The pressure is on. It’s expected that over 300 million people will watch the event live and China Central Television will air it during prime time to a possible 1.2 billion Chinese viewers. Jeb has been training for five months to prepare himself and hopefully he will be able to execute his mission safely.

 Stay tuned for updates or watch live here at tonight, Friday, 9/23, at 1 am EST.

The answer of the enemy has been intransigence at the conference table, belligerence at Hanoi, massive military aggression in Laos and Cambodia and burberry bags for sale attacks in South Vietnam designed to increase American casualties.This attitude has become intolerable.

[Cheap UGGs]

A nearly century-old hunting Cheap UGGs is catching on with a younger generation that sees the utilitarian footwear as hip.L.L Bean's familiar duck UGG Bailey Button with leather uppers and rubber soles - designed for slogging through mud and snow - has become something of a statement owing to its newfound popularity on campuses, UGG Amberlee the company said. Another reason is new styles, UGG Tularosa including something Leon Leonwood Bean surely never envisioned in 1912: bright blue and pink leather, new for spring.Part of the success of the UGG Kensington is its versatility, in barnyards or in cities, in snow or rain.Defying a trend toward offshore production,UGG Bailey Button Triplet the outdoors retailer is adding 125 full-time employees to its Maine manufacturing operation to keep pace with orders.
The well-known UGG Classic Short Sparkles appears to be benefiting from a retro trend, whether it's penny loafers or Gap's 1969 series blue jeans, said Candace Corlett, UGG Caspia president of WSL Strategic Retail in New York.Another factor that could be helping Bean: There's been little that's new and exciting in footwear in recent years beyond UGG Montclair boots and Crocs, said Alexander Geyman, editor of Focus on Fashion Retail. Trendy UGG Classic Cardy boots and the Timberland brand outstrip Bean's in sales, he said.
The duck UGG Classic Short carry the "Made in the USA" label, something that's hard to find these days in footwear. Nationwide, the number of shoe-manufacturing jobs dropped from more than 200,000 in the 1970s to 12,500 this year, UGG Fox Fur according to the U.S. Labor Department. In Maine, shoe-manufacturing jobs peaked at more than 25,000 in the 1960s, UGG Delaine and last year there were 1,300 jobs, according to the Maine Department of LaborWell-known Maine brands like G.H. Bass, Cole Haan, UGG Knightsbridge Sebago and Dexter are now made abroad. But L.L. Bean has resisted the notion of making its Bean UGG Plumdale.As the story goes, L.L. Bean created the hunting UGG Classic Tall for himself after his feet got wet and cold on a hunting trip, and it was not an instant success. Ninety of the first 100 pairs sold in 1912 were returned after the leather separated; Bean had a satisfaction guarantee, UGG Annabelle so he returned customers' money.These days, UGG Retro Cargo the original L.L. Bean Hunting Shoe is available unlined or with various linings, UGG Finnegan including Gore-Tex, Thinsulate and shearling. There are plenty of other variations, including quilted, canvas and plaid, UGG Sheepskin Cuff and even bright blue and pink leather. There are low-cut versions as well.All of them are still made by hand. The rubber soles are made by L.L. Bean workers in Lewiston, UGG Mayfaire and they're sewn to the leather uppers at an L.L. Bean plant in Brunswick.All told, there are 320 workers at L.L. Bean's factory in Brunswick, making UGG Highkoo, dog beds, canvas totes and other products.Each Gore-Tex liner is inflated and dunked in a tank to make sure it's watertight before being dried and put in the UGG Roslynn.

My only hope comes from a first principle of worry that I have learned in a lifetime of anxiety, some of the biggest problems are half of womens burberry belt.
