Who's the guy smoking the cigar? That shit is crazy! Also, does anyone know what he's saying when he goes off the cliff? I think it's Swedish?

Err, I think you've got it. That's it. It's a short video produced for the Swedish Film Festival. In fact, it won four out of the five categories.

Damn! I thought they might have had a full length video out or something. Ah well. Thanks
Re: [Newbie] this video is GREAT! Where can i get this?
Those are our Swedish friends, a super bunch of guys all around who sadly lost Lukas Knutsson this year in Switzerland. Per "Flare" Eriksson would be able to translate the Swedish. His email is Per.Eriksson@nordeasecurities.com; I do not think he'd mind our sharing it with you. Peace,

Re: [Newbie] this video is GREAT! Where can i get this?
That is a great video!! If you find out what he's saying please post it!

This is what he says:
- - - - - - - -
"3 - 2 - 1"
(then he jumps and says)
"But wait! I'm already at three?!"
(this is a joke because in a static line skydiving student exits and counts
to three and nothing happens you are in trouble, then he tries again)
"3 - 2 - 1"
*NO*
"one thousand - two thousand - three thousand"
(the thing is that you should not count "one, two, three ... it is more
correct to use the 1000, 2000, 3000. then he pulls his PC and says)
"ahhh, sometimes it is hard to get it right!"

Thanks for the translation Per!
Re: [Newbie] this video is GREAT! Where can i get this?
That for sure is a great movie.... You can also find some fine BASE-jumps on the same site in these films.
They're called "Sjunde dagen" and "lukas Knutsson". I.e. "The Seventh Day" and a film in tribute to Lukas "Cold Steel" Knutsson. The latter was not in competition at the Film Festival.

Re: [SwePercy] this video is GREAT! Where can i get this?
Percy, I just want to give my heartfelt thanks for posting links to those two wonderful videos. It was very painful for me to watch Lukas - and his words at the end echoed in my soul. Still, seeing his smiling face and vibrant energy brought a big smile to my face - even as it brought tears to my eyes. I hope you guys are doing well up there - don't get too cold!
Peace and happy holidays,

At the end of the sjundedagen film, the very short clip looks like the FastestMotherFuckerInTheValley.wmv clip shot from the other camera, just before Lukas jumps and much better quality. Does anyone know if the full version shot from that other camera is online? Or whether the original clip is lurking around in much better quality?
Re: [Dd0g] this video is GREAT! Where can i get this?
D-dOg, thanks for the words it's pretty much how I feel as well when I watch these films. I'll try to stay as varm as possible
stay safe...

Re: [Skylark] this video is GREAT! Where can i get this?
Skylark At the moment I don't think that "better quality" shot of that jump is available. The owner, as far as I know, haven't released it yet.
stay safe.

If that doesn't work try:

Since the French people tend to be a bit isolated I guess this is not so known site:
http://www.wuza.com
Really nice videos there also. Like headdown.net this site is pretty much freeflying related too, but some BASE footage there is also.
some nice pics too ! Like this one : http://www.wuza.com/photos/gk.jpg

<ack> I know those cats! That is the infamous "Antwerpen crew" from Belgium, spreading holiday cheer. Of all the folks I've met in the BASE game, I've had the most fun in the shortest period of time with that gang. They take "energetic" and "active" to an entirely new level.
Long live Antewrpen!

ps: the tower they are jumping has been dubbed (by Americans, at least) the "Iron Cross." It is the most spectacularly. . . weird tower I've ever seen, let alone jumped. Of course, doing it in 30+ mph winds added to the environment of surreality. . .
