Re: [sabre210] Awesome video
Ya.. I liked Fumio
He was a kick in the Ass to be around and jump with.
I saw your post and I immediately thought about a old e-mail
that he sent to me shortly after that jump.
This old mail is classic, Fumio
I think that jump with Jeb also made an impression on him to.
Sometimes I am glad I save old mail.
When special people are gone. I can always look at it and smile
.
* I think the last paragraph is his impression of the jump.
* I deleted a little of the message because it mentions specifics on buildings.

Hey Ray ,
How are your ribs cooking ? Manage things OK?
Jeb and Iiro went back to KL to transit and fly out to
one's destiny. We had 2 building jumps in Tokyo.
First one was 240m building underconstruction but
nearly finish and took us long time to find the way up
because it is very wide so doesn't look high if you see it. Iiro and I did
leapt together . I did 3 sds. slider up and Iiro 2sds. slider down. We
landed OK but Iiro landed other side of building and I landed just in
front of exit point .
So I was filming Jeb's jump and took off my helmet and shooting him
but security showed up and asked me " What 's wrong with you?"
but I didn' say anything and kept ignorring the security until Jeb lands.
My Japanes friend came to pick me up and so I put the helmet back and
cover my face and jumped in the car and left the security. My friend is my
base driver for more than 10 jumps so he knew what's up and didn't turn the
light on so the license number cannot be seen.
I got home about 4 am . It was tiring and hard to read the winds since there
were many surroundings . Pretty hardcore.
The second jump are from 200m building I have been
jumping for 6 times so far . My jap skydive and base
mentor joined the jump and 4 of us went up . It was
Sunday 4:30am we got in the building and got to the
top about 5:15 and waited about 1 hour to get sunrise
my boss jumped first since he has not jumped B from
the date USA attacked Affganistan . He did good 3 sds. with slider up.
Iiro jumped solo next did 2 sds. no slider .
Jeb and I jumped together and I filmed his backfilp exit and
I smoked it down too much and neary go in.
I had only 5 sds. canopy ride without any turn.
I have to count well next jump. Jeb has a footage of
my head cam he can send you if you want to see it.
I guess I finish now . How is my English writting?
See you sometime , somewhere my friend !!
Also get well and go back to parachuting.
