Four self-confessed wildmen stopped the hearts of onlookers when they leapt off the 400-feet-tall Signature condo towers at MGM Grand. They performed four consecutive BASE jumps in a form of “free flying” at skydiver speeds of 340 mph!

Shane McConkey, Miles Daisher, Charles Bryan and Othar Lawrence who are members of the Red Bull Air Force even pushed the limits with gainers and double back flips before pulling their parachutes!

They were in Vegas with dozens of other Red Bull athletes to celebrate the launch of Red Buill Cola, the first new product from Red Bull in 20 years. Vegas is the first city in America to have the new drink go on sale starting this coming Sunday, June 1.

The Red Bull Airforce is a 12-man daredevil team assembled from the most accomplished and experienced skydivers, BASE jumpers and paragliders on the planet. They’ve performed over 130,000 skydives and 5,000 BASE jumps. High winds prevented their last planned jump exhibition at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway NASCAR race, but this time at MGM everything went off smoothly and without a hitch, thankfully!
