Nico was one of the many German Base jumpers who was not only a very knowledgeable and skilled jumper but also a really nice person. I remember well the 4 days we spend at ITW in 2008, my first trip there. Nico lent me his tracking suit as my new one had not yet arrived. Many people would have met him on what turned out to be an impromptu Base boogie with almost 30 of us queuing for the exit point. Fly free Nico, I wish we’d had more trips together.
We hiked up yesterday to the same jump that got Nico not remembering the it was exactly one year ago... The weather was exceptionally beautiful, clear blue skies, some fresh snow up at altitude and breathtaking scenery everywhere you looked. We stopped multiple times to admire the stunning view and appreciate how lucky we are to be able to be in this environment. I think this was not a coincident... He was with us on this jump and made sure that the nature shows it´s best.
