Pics from the weekend… and a video in a minute
Did that guy jump with his dog? I’m not entirely sure how I feel about that lol…
Yeah. Dog was very calm and was stoked at the bottom… IDK if it fully grasped the danger, but it didn’t show any fear…
Here’s a vid from idaho…
I don’t know if this video will load or not…

JUMP!: Alright, you won’t be FIRST! (see below) but you’ll be on the list… Ride our balloons and robot up to the top, and then jump. What could be easier, right? Personally, I think you guys are all a little crazy. But then again, I’m building an Elevator in Space… Who am I to say what ‘crazy’ is? If you’ve got the waivers, jump certifications and guts, I won’t stop you from jumping off the tallest man-made structure in the world… and into the history books. Delivery dates are negotiable. PLUS everything at the VIDEO CHANNEL, GET INVOLVED, ADVERTISE YOUR SUPPORT, MEDIUM ART PRINT, CARD CARRYING SUPPORTER, GREETING CARD, RIBBON, and FRIENDS, levels.

Video?
Jump off the space elevator for 10k, that’d be pretty cool once possible
OR 25 grand plus 10-15k (assuming) to get to the top of Mt. Everest, then jump.
I have video of a slider down (low) jump, but nothing high. I’m hoping to get some tomorrow. My gopro keeps dying on the hike. 
I have this still from a rear facing video, I’ll try upload that later.
I’m the low man, my buddy rex in a wingsuit and my other buddy in the tracksuit.
I was the last jumper on the last load of the last day of the season. 
(I chased the guy who took this pic off the mountain)
Great shot :tup:
glad you didnt die
ME TOO!
Here’s an action shot. 
This dude was LUCKY. I want to see if he ever set up that high bar again and made a good launch.
Yikes.
BUMP. Lets see some updated pics from BD.
This is what happens when things go wrong… I wish I had pictures of the deployment to see wtf was up with it, but I basically had an off heading opening which spun up my lines and prevented me from steering the parachute. I fairly low and was headed directly toward the trees/railroad tracks (this is why they stop jumping during trains). I had to do something so I pushed the risers together in order to bring the twist as low as possible, then used all my strength to lift myself up to grab control lines above the twist so I could peel it away from the tracks and trees and into the water…
Pics are not loading, I’ll re-host and fix.

Fixed. Any video from those GoPros?
Yeah, I have footage but haven’t looked at any of it yet. The above jump my fwd camera wouldn’t turn on. Figures.
