Lucky Chance, professional badass, seems surprised himself to be alive. After flying off this cliff on the epically named Devil’s Swing, he did a triple backflip, counting on his chute to deploy. Only it didn’t, leaving him to fall 180m to certain death.
But, miraculously, the parachute opened in the nick of time. Literally right before he hit the ground. Chance called the experience a true adventure. F**k, man. Awesome as this was, I’d never want to have an adventure like that. [Vimeo]

Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 9:50 PMYeah sure… australia always seems to breed “ninja superheroes”. I mean especially when that’s all people see.
Please, this whole “aussie” stereotype is pathetic. We aren’t as hardcore as we make out to be. When was the last time you saw a video showing off a weak australian? probably never.
Yet, people just keep feeding it. Just makes me sick to actually call myself australian if anything. There’s no pride.

Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 11:16 AMYeah man, lets make some videos showing off Aussie losers… that should get your pride flowing!
Daniel
Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 11:23 PMWhat pride? I’ve lost it through years of watching pathetic stereotypes and generalizations. This being a prime example.
What, so steve irwin restled a few crocs on tv, that suddenly means all australians are tough warriors? That’s like me saying all brits are like bear grylls.
The “Loser” idea is just there to balance it out a bit and show the REAL us.

Friday, August 5, 2011 at 7:36 PMLucky – he reminds me a bit of Jason Rooney. Thinks he is invincible… he might well be.. but history tells another ending to his story. Can’t help but admire Lucky’s exploits – the guy is pushing limits and we need someone like hime. A bit of Dwain thrown in there too. Lucky is doing what many of us want to do – but are too afraid to do. Good on you Lucky – you are enthusiasm in it’s primacy.
The truth
Friday, September 16, 2011 at 12:35 PMYeah base australia, your right a bit like jason rooney, look where that got him.. where is lucky now???? Anyone
