I just found this in a Norwegian ad. I think it's funny

Since they speak norwegian, you may easily turn the sound off


http://www.basejumpingdog.com/


edit: Just read that the dog actually made the f****g jump with a sound trigger device to deploy the parachute! They had him on a tandemjump prior and spoke to some skydivers and got pointers from them.... But the rest they gifured out them selves.

That's one crazy og plain stupid dog The exit was 62m(approx 200f)

THAT WAS THE GREATEST POST OF A REPOST THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE OF LIVING!!!!!!!!!!! Im sending u a hairy chimpansee as my regards for being that amazing, he tends to pick poop out of his butt and throw it at strangers. his name is Theodress Humprey the 3rd. He will accept you as one of its own if you feed him sasquaches eyebrow hair.... that is all.
take care,

damn....


såjjy

smack down

Youtube link with English subtitles. Looks like they cut the first part a little bit. I can only assume they are talking about what is about to happen, as you can hear something about 'basehopp'.

Anyone know of a translation of the text on the page? Web translators don't help, since it's all in flash... would need to rip apart the flash to copy the text :(

I can translate it, so you may edit it in if you can. It not perfect regarding grammar beacuse I almost translated it directly.

"Hi! My name is Hanne and this is Eva and this is Aio"

"And today is the big day because Aio is having his first basejump"

"yes, and we're actually going all the way up there"(pointing)

*noiseandgiggles*

"oh, loooong way down...." "oh shit"

"Aio, yeah yeah"

"0,1m/s"(edit: 0,3f/s)

"Aio" (bark bark)

"Can you help me with this?"

"Now remember everything you've learned, huh?"

"I think I'll go down, are we..are we ready then?"
"yes."


"yes, now...now any moment"

"come on aio, yes, yes, see, see"

"is it clear?"

"it's clear!"

"Yes, when you're ready yes"

*jump*

*scream*

"Aio is down and it went great"

*laugh/giggles/screaming*

"what a good boy!"

"This went awesome!"

Thanks!

Not only dogs do fly in Norway. Here is another one, also from around 60 meters and in the same city.. Notice the relaxed 360 and the smooth subterminal track...Others would shit them selfs..The jumper had a cup of coffee during the canopy ride and a wank directly afterwards....

This might also be a repost, but people are dying and getting born every day, so what you have seen, another person might have not....

The dog is a "man"

He wasn't the 1st... Rocket

Aww.. what a senseless way to go .

I still wanna know how the girls from the original post trained Aro to bark for deployment.

 
From what I saw his rig had an RF antenna on it, making it more likely that it was remotely activated. And if it was bark activated, why didn't it activate before he exited??

I'm not sure. I remember seeing them set the device, then the dog barks and the pin comes out as a test. Then dog jumps (again, what training...?), dog barks, and it deploys.

Edit: I just watched it again and you can see a headset microphone attached to the white box.

They spent 3 week(ends) training the dog with instructurs. Their goal was to teach him to jump and bark on command. The release device does activate from barking. It's a device originally to help out handicapped people and can be programmed to trigger at any sound.

so no one thinks it was a fake? I cant tell... all I know is that it is not a continuous shot. Seems really crazy. almost like it was too well done to be real. I dont know.... any input???

fake?
it has already been discussed in the original thread. (the fact this is a repost was mentioned in posts 2 & 4 of this thread by space.)
