Still want to try this.

I used to jump quite a bit when I was in my twenties and early thirties but this is taking that to a way new level. So would love to try this just do not think they make fly suites my size 😄

Been following Jeb and some of the other guys for a couple of years now. This is the 2013 edit.

Yeah I remember that (beer means something else in Spain) from the last time I was there. But up on the other side from you, Santander.

About flying suite's, have you seen the guy that strapped small jet engines wings to his death-trap-suite? Crazy guy 🙂

That guy is Jeb Corliss and he did the jump in Cape Town in January 2012 from Table Mountain.

This is taken from a base jumping forum where he was asked WTF was he doing. This was his reply

Well the answer is very simple. I was flying too close and messed up 🙂 I was going for a black balloon that was basically laying on the rocks and was going to try and kick it with my foot. In order to do this I had to fly low and flat between boulders. My left foot clipped a boulder that dragged me into a flat ledge that I took at the waist at full speed. If I had not clipped that boulder I might have made it, I might have still impacted. It's very hard to tell from the footage. Everything happens very fast. But when you go for a flight where inches are the difference between making it and not making it, well impact is very possible. I knew this and took the risk and paid the price for pushing way too hard. I take full responsibility for my actions and am just happy I still have legs to do rehab on.

This is not my first time getting hurt and it will not be my last. I push it, always have and always will. One day I will die and I just hope that when I do, it will be doing something I truly love...

P.S. I want to thank everyone for their support. 99% of you have been very very nice to me 🙂 For the other 1% I agree with you 100%, I am a total dumb ass 🙂 I am human and humans make mistakes. I am sorry for what ever inconvenience I have caused anyone...
