Yes im a LAZY boy,how ever today weather my mood and evrything is in my favor to do loads of jumps
I startede 9 hours ago,and have so far 3 jumps off 400ft,and im not sure my body will survive another climb...

Im now sure that i dont need a 2. rig. i really cant climb that much in such a short periode(did 3 jumps off a 230ftér in 3 hours/1 rig not long ago)..damn i need a lift

i hope a dinner and a rest(plus packing) will give me power to beet my personaly record and make 4 jumps in a day..Just guess i wont climb 400ft on the last one

Did I mention that I love your work??

cheers mate,im trying to tell my body to climb that last towerim not sure if it works,i hope so.. my gf will arrive in 2,5 hours and i need to clean and refuel it before she gets back(picking her up at the train státion),im gonna feel so sore tomorrow

Did you get your new gear yet? rember to send me a pic
Will send Mac a extra copy of the edited video of my trip,one of them has your name on itand yes your on it

Sweet Faber! Go for it dude!!!

It's tough to climb an antenna 4 times in a day -- even if it's just to 400ft. In my opinion, climbing to 400ft four times is harder than climbing a tall tower once to 1,600ft.

The only time I ever did a "double" off an antenna (one in which you have to climb) was a climb to 717ft for a slider-up jump, and then a climb to 500ft for a slider-down jump. I was more tired after those 2 jumps then when I had climbed 1,700ft in one shot...

At any rate, hope you get #4 in today. Keep us updated!

C-ya,

Hi Bryan
i DID get jump #4 of that day(300ft A),however i mannegede to huck a small tree under my night swoop in my Fox lucky me i had ground crew at the site and only my pride(so far as i need a closer inspection of the gear)had to pay a price,well and then the beers i had to buy for it

i now had a great night of sleep,and a gf that is mad at me as she didnt see me all day,and when i went home,i felt to sleep

actualy the weather is great to day aswell,but i feel sore in my body after yesterday,i guess ill just inspect my gear pack it(hopefuly) and then take care of the girl that borrowed me her car for 12 hours,which i then felt a sleep from last night..
I dont care,i think i found one of the greatest gf i could find,only problem is.. that i now have to be carefull that no one wants to take her away from me...

Special thanks to
P.C. who phone crewed me on the 2 solos on my trip,to H.C. and J.M. i hope you got some great shots,i want a copy and to "junior and his bigger brother,thanks for helping me out of that tree

i still dont get how any can climb as high as 1000ft on most of their jumps...But hey.. i might learn it one day

Sweet! Sounds like a tiring but rewarding day.


Heck, if I can do it, anyone can. (I'm as soft as they come) And besides, once you get a taste of a 7 second delay slider-up, you'll understand the need to climb to a 1,000ft.

Congrats!

Bryan

ha ha you wont belive this.. My local which i can jump nearly all the time i want is 900ft, iwere in top once(my only slider up jump and im really close to 100right now)It took me 1 hour to get up there,i got off and some how my hand pulled just arround 4 secs after i left the tower.. leaving me under the longest canopy ride i ever had from a BASEIt were on a solo,and i promised my self to never climb that solo again(perhaps compagni will change that)

By the way i DID have a great night of sleep,i guess as i didnt even noticed anything before i woke up this morning
