...2007, ey? -- What's the color scheme?

I wonder if that's the same canopy... as I had planned to find out the full damage after inspection, but, that wasn't much of a priority after Bridge Day 2007.

Hey Douggs! Where you at?

So was Alan McCandlish... watching them both fly their S-Fly suits was quite impressive.

P.P.S:

I'm thinkin' if Hanzo got access to the skydivingmovies server... he would spontaneously combust.

Here's one of my favorites for ya:

Alan & Ted

The Texture of Granite -- Douggs

Quite the "blessing in disguise" that season was … very grateful for the extended time shared with not only these two, but others I met & had the opportunity to hang out with.

Thanks Norway Rain!

"P.S." - Dark Fear is not a dwarf.

Dwarf?

No, I don't have a long beard and I don't go around with an ax (although I'd like to!).

Hobbit? No, I don't have very big feet! (I rather have something else great! )

What am I?

I'm just lucky and you all envy me because I'm the only one who can wear Roberta's suits!!!

Aw, Crap.

I have a long beard & a tomahawk... does that make me a Dwarf?!

Well. According to Tom:

On all levels except physical ... You're a Monster.

15 second sd

Re: [Hanzo] Ted Rudd

Meant to say, 15 seconds delay with no slider? How do you even walk away from that with your neck not broken?

It's not the only SD on a terminal jump. It can go even worse, think about BFL 171.

Met Eilive 6 - 8" years ago in Northern Norway.
Eilive could most definitely fly.
Not sure how he finally got caught out @ little colorado.

He was a good guy.
Eiliv Ruud was a fucking champion in the mountains and super humble guy for going so hard. I'll never forget him in Lauterbrunnen hostel describing how he would ground launch his base gear to get down after ice climbing the big waterfalls (1500ft) in the Norwegian Fjords.

No injuries to either the jumper or the canopy, actually, which seems pretty miraculous to me.

The same guy once did a naked jump at the bridge here, after dark, and lost his bag of clothes. He had to hike out wrapped in his canopy and try to figure out what to do without his car keys or wallet (which were both in with the clothes).

So, Tom...

Have ya realized , the date in that picture? -- Exactly 5 Years Prior... & Today was 10.

Having gotten to know Ted a good bit (Thanks Norway Rain!), that's quite amusing...

Re: [TomAiello] Ted Rudd

That’s such a base story lol. That’s one for the books. How often do people jump the bridge at nights? Never see footage of night jumps there.

Especially since I was going to ask if you (or anyone else [still] reading the forum) knew the origins; as "small-dog" is clearly not a BASE jumper. Otherwise he would have been in those Kjerag jumps.

Is "midgetbase" a tribute to your short stature, Tom? -- No, I wasn't going to ask that before the guest book pic.

Sorry wrote: Sorry, Tom... Douggs laughed at that, had to post it.
