Pioneers of the Free Fall

Thanks to Hardy Huber and Daniel in London for the information and links in this post:

Pioneers of the Free Fall: Servus TV in Germany made a film about Hardy Huber's (and his friends') history in skydiving 40 years ago and their lives now.  The TravelScoot gets a good appearance and you also get to see Hardy doing things in the 1980s, like jumping off freeway overpass bridges and out of airplanes, both with parachutes.

If you'd like to view it from the ServusTV site, go to http://www.servustv.com/cs/Satellite/VOD-Mediathek/001259088496198?p=1259088496182
and scroll all the way down, select page 6 and click Pioniere des freien Falls (Pioneers of the Free Fall).  ServusTV is owned by the makers of Red Bull energy drinks, and they show many extreme sports action films.  There are 4 films in this series, with the first shown on Saturday, February 8, 2014, and then on the next 3 Saturdays.

Thanks to Daniel for putting the videos on YouTube so we could view them easily!
