JT vs Felix

One of 2013's most impressive feats of human achievement was Felix Baumgartners Stratosphere space jump.
Suprisingly he failed to better Joseph Kittingers 1960 record for longest freefall jump, but certainly impressed with his altitude. Beating Kittingers records for going higher and faster than the former US air force command pilot.

Whilst we will ignore the speed factor for now.. although, BBB's poster boy, 'JT' shifts pretty quickly on his bike - and impressive as the Stratosphere project was - Red Bull have noting on JT for elevation!

To give you an idea, Jamie rode the Fitz chain 369 times, the garbanzo 24 times and the village gondola 43 times. That gives him a total elevation gain of 192,752 meters.. Felix rode one posh space capsule and only got to 39,000m - pah!

JT Huck:	Red Bull Stratosphere:
Scott Voltage FR 10 - $5000 CAD Whistler Blackcomb Season Pass - $550 All the other gear - $1000	Estimated Cost - $50,000,000 CAD
Elevation reached - 192,752m	Elevation Reached - 39,044m
Cost per meter = $0.03 (3 cents)	Cost per meter = $1,280.61

So, JT went almost 5 times higher at 1/100th of a percent of the cost of Felix!

WINNER - JT

This astonishing feat happened with zero component failures!
