Elevator Help
Greetings,

I have some ideas about how to get one working on a local A, but I'm sure there are some people out there with some expertise on the subject that could definitely help.

P.M. me and I'll give you my phone number so we can talk. I can get you in contact with some other jumpers as references just to get rid of the anonymous element of dealing on the web.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Aaron

Re: [REDAKTOR] Elevator Help
I'm a bit less lazy than the rest of the local crew.

It's like pulling teeth to get anyone to climb higher than 350 around here and I'm not too keen on trying new stuff (slider up) solo and without guidance.

And I have chicken arms Tongue

Don't be a pussy. Climb to new heights and show you jumping friends that it's not that hard and worth the work.

Does it require a key?

in my area we don't have many objects over 250. I say suck it up and enjoy the opportunity. a little sweat will be well worth it.

I went to school in the elevator trade and worked on and built elevators for 4 years. But I say climb! Dont mess with it unless you are going to 2k or something really worth messing with an elevator you know nothing about, just because if it craps out on you and you cant fix it, uncommon but it has happened to me lol, then you possibly burn an object when you are not even gonna jump slider up, EWW!!! UNLESS its out in the middle of no where and you are gonna jump it all day and do really stupid things and gopro everything and maybe, just maybe get a sweet new injury and awesome new video to sell to tv shows to pay for your medical bills and get lots and lots of cool attention!!! Otherwise take a break every 20 feet and go slow, I believe in you!!!
