Thanx Mick for sharing.

Speechless.....

You were always smiling, always having so much fun, always happy,...

You always touched everyone in a positive way,...

Thanks for all the fun, you are missed,....

 Hard to believe it's been a year..... Even harder to realize Mario is gone.
Fly free you crazy Canuck !!!

They say time heals everything. But I think this one will take an eternity. One kind of a human you were, Mario Richard. Kind, happy, thoughtful, humble, generous, innovative, adventurous and such an amazing friend! We are so very lucky to have known you!

 Another year has come and gone....still hard to believe that you are gone my friend. Someone who had so much to share , taken so early.
Ill miss the Mario magic at the exit points......

Two years now? It's hard to believe we lost you to this sport that you seemed to have so much control over.
Always full of positive energy and ideas, it hasn't been the same without your cheerful presence.

Voler librement Mon Ami!

Didn't really know Mario all that well but I heard a great story about him the other day.

When he opened the G-Spot he named it that because he hiked up from town past the "G" painted on the rock. Everyone kept laughing and telling him what a great name it was. He seemed perplexed about why everyone was so hyped on the name.

About a year later he finally figured out what a "g-spot" was according to local vernacular. Classic.

I was jumping the G spot a few years ago with Mario and specifically asked him if he had opened it. He told me that he didn't and wasn't sure who did, but that it was named for the G (Grand County) on the rock. I was always curious cause I jump it alot. Maybe Jimmy/Marta or Stealthy B knows ?

Fly free brotha -

does anyone know the story of the feather at the exit point?
was this original or base jumper inspired?

Cinco anos mi amigo. We know you're still here, we just can't see you.

So missed on this planet .....

I for sure never met him but I saw him doing head down tandem jumps and also a BASE jump in Kjerag that he did and looked so happy.
