Rick Sylvester
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rick Sylvester is a Hollywood stuntman, most famous for his BASE jump using skis and parachute from Canada's Mount Asgard for the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me in July 1976. In 1973, he skied off the top of El Capitan and descended 3000' by parachute. This was conceived as "the world's greatest ski jump". Already an expert skier, he spent 3 weeks learning sky diving to make this jump. He has since retired from stunt work.
