sweet!

About time, Reindeer! Love your work.

Are you and Vilko coming to KL this year? Not sure if they serve campari, but I'm sure we arrange some Duty Free for you... :-)

Dan

Yo Dan,

i will be there at least...Tony is not so sure yet...

Sambuca is ok for me too...but Campari works better for sure...
see you there

awesome vid,
did that d00d with line twist crash through a glass roof ?
it looked like it, or did I see it wrong.
if he did was he ok ?

Yes. He was ok. Couple of small holes in skin and ripped Wingsuit....thats all.
think about the faces of those flowerladies when Dennis pops through the roof window...

That was funny as hell.

"Hey Dan, look at this" as he pulled his leg apart in front of us - exposing a nice deep gash...

He got stiched up and was jumping again that afternoon from memory...

Dan

Was there Moscow Base 2005? Is this event happening every year?

No shit! This is definitely going on my things to jump list.

I saw another BASE video with this same building and there was footage of when it was actually being built and parchutists were jumping off it then...Also heard it was a former KGB headquarters, does anyone know for sure? It sure is ugly, but compelling nontheless.

I heard that KGB planned to build this tower so high that they will see Washington from the top. They stopped when steel at the base started crashing by the sheer weight of the tower. Oops. Now, with carbonfuckingfiber...


It may look ugly during renovation after the fire, but I find it quite beautiful. At about 450 meters total height, it's held stable by steel cables in the core tensioning the structure from bottom to top.

From being there last year (no base-related..I'm a pussy) The tower was in use as a TV station, but closed after a big fire, and was never officialy put back into use...

Don't know what it was before that?

Hi DanMan ...Im not coming 2 KL cause I have spend my money in Norway and in Swiss (just came back from Lautterbrunnen few days ago)
-Tony-
BTW F*** the Finns

You and Reindeer seem to be at opposite ends of the financial spectrum.... :-)

That sucks bro... I'm gonna be in Switzerland at the Benne Boogie next month, followed by Italy then Malaysia... Can't wait.

Talk soon.

yes...tower had a big fire there. a lot of people died there because they had no equipment to rescue.

now they had new elevator parts ready down the area and ready to install.
lets see what happens...?!!

...does the tower have a name?

Ostankino, in English.

yes. 345 and 362 metres exits. 511m to the top....not sure, but i think..
