This has probably been covered a million times already, but...

If one was to leap out of a plane on a bike, what would be the best bike to do it on and why? Disc brakes or not? Dual suspension? Or is there already a special type?
And would you need the normal gear you carry on a bike ride, or does sky-riding require different kit?

The questions are endless, maybe i should have read up on this first.

Van Nic Chinook- obviously.
Failing that a BSA airborne.

Raleigh Mustang. So you can see it smash into the ground in a manner that is fitting.

Forks should be Bombers, obvs, in stealth colours to avoid radar.

Is the plane on a treadmill?

Would have to jump out of a Skyvan then... Or something else with a tailgate. C130 or C17 (if you have the money) would give you enough space to get some speed up, possibly even get a ramp on the ramp to get a backflip in before the fall.

Surely you'd have to ride a Chopper out of a chopper?

Like that would kill one of them off, it's not the apocalypse.

30 odd years ago, MBUK did a parachute jump on a mountain bike. A bright yellow Marin.
