Crane in Mexico
Hello everyone! Last March 4rd Johnny and I jumped from the first Crane ever jumped in Mexico. To infiltrate and get on the object it took 1.5 hours but finally was great.
Crane was 2700 feet ASL and jump was performed at 3:15 hrs.

Thanks to the ground crew and Johnny Saavedra for everythinf

Re: [Devereux] Crane in Mexico
I've "heard" someone jumped a tower crane outside of Rosarita, Baja Norte in April of 2007.

I've "heard" the individual garnered access past the 7.62mm assault rifle toting security guard with a bottle of tequila.

hm. i would not think so... try that with Blue Cow, maybe they give you some money for it in case you make it to the news with that story and one of their t-shirts. not a lot of people here will buy that story.

Re: [flummi] Crane in Mexico
I have to apologize abaout my fast english writing. My mind set me a feet - meter tramp. I tried to tell taht was 2700 meters above sea level.

Mexico City is around 2,200 meters ASL. (7,220 ft) and crane was 2,700 mts (8,858 ft). Was a 36 storey building and we think with crane were around 38.

Sorry about that, next time I'll check my writing..

Hugs,
