Sean MacCormac, a two-time X Games medalist and Red Bull athlete, executed a skysurfing stunt across the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge that temporarily closed the structure. He jumped from over 5,500 feet, rode down the bridge’s suspension cables and landed on a floating platform. Skysurfing involves a skydiver wearing a board attached to the feet and performing aerial tricks. MacCormac has completed more than 22,000 skydives and described the stunt as one of the most technical of his career. The jump required 18 months of preparation and generated controversy due to the bridge closure.
