Don't think it will spoil anything. So you talking about the bike and glide? if so,SIGN me up! looks like a frikkin blast! Don't be surprised if you see activities like that popping up in the near future. I've been riding since the teens and one of my kiwi buds got me into gliding in the 90's in NZ.“The stunt” I’m referring to (don’t want to spoil it) was 100% him. There‘s behind the scenes footage of him doing it like a couple dozen times also, not just once.
I believe he legit doesn’t think he’s risking his life. He actually enjoys doing this stuff. In the end, I guess if this is what brings him enjoyment, good on him.
I think he mentioned this during the making of Top Gun Maverick (can’t remember if I read it or saw it on TV) but he does a lot of this because of his dedication to the craft. He believes in putting this passion into his films and at least for Maverick and MI, it’s obvious he cares. Can’t fault him for that, though I’m sure studio execs clench a little when he says he wants to do a stunt.
Even as kids on part of our property there was a pretty steep slope leading to the water and we made about an 80 foot path for our bicycles from wood that led to the boat dock and at the end of the dock we had a small ramp that would get you airborne pretty good and splashdown in the water,it was a blast! Skateboard was fail though,too much gap on the dock.
