SOUTH AFRICA
I would love for some jumpers back home to PM me and tell me more about what has been jumped and hasn't in South Africa.

How about this one? I guess most South Africans would know this spot. Does it look jumpable?

I think we named the exit point in your picture "Virgin John" in 2000?

It is about 90 meters high, you'll gain maybe another twenty meters, with somewhat on-heading opening, and the landing area(s) are huge.

Jeb did a double back-gainer from it.

Howzit Iiro,

I jump it quite often (this coming weekend hopefully).

Locally known as the "Knobicle" because of the little knob we exit from. A couple more nice E's in the area but this is one of my favourites.

Later,

(we met at Kjerag in 2000 - I think you tested the bouncing capabilities of a camera?)
