Cable-car boogie 2005, Les Diablerets, Switzerland
Hello Everybody

Some of you remember I try to organize jump from the Cable-car of les
Diablerets ( pictures here ) for a TV
production (Telethon) in 2000.

Unfortunatly, weather was not good and we stay 3 days at the bar instead
of jumping.

HERE WE GO AGAIN !

I plan to make a "Cable-car boogie" Sept. 18th, 05.

Programm :

4 jumps from the cable-car, in the upper section (225 m / 740 ft), between
9am and 5 pm ...

Big Fiesta the evening

Headache next morning !

Limits :

Participants should have good (and appropiate) rigs. A group of expert (I
would not be in, don't worry) could "ground" any "strange" rigs.

Also, an experience in BASE jump would be required. Even a cable-car jump
is not difficult, we didn't want to make static-line jumps for beginners !

Monney :

A registration fee would be asked (about 120.- CHF / 100 US$). This would
cover cable-car access and evening meal ... BUT NOT THE BEVERAGE !!! (I'm
already poor enough !)

Safety :

A sanitary service would be organized, just in case ...

Press :

Ahhhh ! Here is a word BASE jumper didn't like, no ?
But, for this event, you should make with ... or not come.
Before accepting to let us use the cable-car, the owner of the company as
been clear. His goal is to show the cable-car to a maximum of networks !
So we would have TV, radio, newspaper.
Participants should show a "clean" and sportiv image. If you "shit on
everything and vomit at the camera", please ... stay at home !

So, here is the main ideas.
If you are interested, send me an email at knabe@knabe.net
Carrefull : Because anti-spamming system, indicate in the subject of your
message : "Cable-car boogie les Diablerets 2005"

See you sone ... ciel bleu, rocher gris !
