hmm, he either had a stuck slider or he was on a 9 cell. I never realized the top of el cap had that type of vegetation either.

All those archaic skydiving rigs, some with empty 3 rings, others with empty risers hanging off them. Many with hanging reserve handles and twisted MLWs. Add some ROL PCs and you got some low budget flick.. Oh and I am betting that half the gear was older than half the "jumpers".

But hey, BASE is getting quite mainstream.

If you ignored all the blatant retarded gear stuff, it was actually a bit entertaining.

Tasmania Canada where the French Aussie's live.

Winnie from the wonder years is a phenomenal actress in this film. It was rather awe inspiring.

Re: [SLAMBO] Basejumping hits the big screen
that was a bummer deal the way his low pull resulted in him getting skewered on that spike feature in the cave full of weird bubbly evil gnar.
