New 3000' + Mexican Cliff jumped by the Mexican Go Fast Team!!
Hello All

I just wanted to share with everyone that we just opened two new walls in the south of México both of them have more than 1000 meters (3000') , one of them has around 700 meters (2100') vertical and a small tallus , the other has like 250 meters ( 750') vertical and a small belly but once you pass that belly you have the complete 1100 meters.

The trip lasted 6 days although I have gone to this place on previous trips to check it. The jumpers for the trip were two , Miguel Girón "Dragon" and myself , we had guides , three boats with crew (water landing), 6 kayakers, and three vehicles to make the trip to the exit points.

First day we jumped a wall that required a tho hour drive from the place where you hire the boats to the nearest village close to the exit point , once there we made a 20 min. treck to the exit point. The first jump was done with tracking pants. It was a great jump wind conditions were perfect, good exit point with no trees, and great comunication with our crew.

Second day we couldn't jump because of winds, since it's a canyon it was very risky to jump in those wind conditions.

On the third day we had great weather again, we decided to repeat the jump of the first day , on this ocassion I jumped my V1 and had one of the nicest jumps in my life , my buddy jumped with Phoenix fly pants again. Then we decided to do the other jump although it´s more technical because of a belly the trecking is only 5 minutes from the road. I decided to jump it with the V1 again and had no trouble flying away from the wall and into the canyon, my friend did a great track to outfly the belly and did like a 20 second delay opening still high.

I am attaching a picture of the wall so far this is the only one I got but I will post more as soon as a friend that took them sends them to me .

Awesome, simply awesome. You're living my dream. Opening up a terminal wall must be the ultimate reward in BASE. Congratulations!
