Did You Know...

... that BJ Worth has a "License to Thrill"?

FOX 35 Friday morning show - see video
posted Nov 25th, 2008 - The NSL News mentioned during the SkyQuest 2008 coverage (21 November 2008) that BJ Worth and Kurt Gaebel had to make a quick trip to Orlando early Friday morning due to an invitation by a local news channel. The live morning show featured the Kaleidoscope Dives organizer and the NSL founder with a "License to Thrill", leaning on BJ Worth's history with James Bond movies.

The NSL News had sent press releases to the local media after a successful Thursday for the Kaleidoscope Divers in DeLand, and the FOX News 35 channel reacted quickly with the invitation to the live morning show.

The visit turned out to be a lively and interesting conversation with the host, Heidi Hatch. She had picked a combination of two different James Bond movies ("A License to Kill" and "A View to a Kill") for her own theme of this part of the morning show ("License to Thrill").

FOX 35 website
"A View to a Kill" is the movie where Roger Moore tries to catch Grace Jones in a climbing pursuit on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Grace Jones eventually escapes by jumping of the tower and landing her parachute on a boat on the Seine River, which flows through the center of Paris and right along the Eiffel Tower. Of course, James Bond catches up soon after a wild car race...

However, it surely was not Grace Jones jumping from the Eiffel Tower and landing the parachute on the moving boat on the river. Of course, it was stuntman BJ Worth who made the first BASE jump from the tower in Paris.

FOX 35 host Heidi Hatch asked him questions about his work for the many James Bond movies where he has doubled famous actors in skydiving stunts. The channel's website has posted the clip with BJ Worth and introduced it to the general public since Friday morning: "BJ Worth, the stuntman for most of the skydiving scenes in James Bond movies, visited FOX 35 to share his experiences doing stunts for the movies."

The conversation between host Heidi Hatch, BJ Worth and Kurt Gaebel eventually turned to the event in DeLand and explained to the public what was happening at SkyQuest 2008. The news channel played a variety of different skydiving clips of previous SkyQuest events on the backscreen while the conversation continued. An hour later, BJ Worth was back in the air with his Kaleidoscope Divers, while Kurt Gaebel prepared for the competition draw of the NSL Championship 2008 at noon. The NSL News will follow up soon with the usual event coverage.
