I used to do this 8 or 10 years ago, had an absolute blast. I don’t have any gear anymore. I may have to join you at some point Christian. I used to rock off some off the train bridges here in the area, 80-100ft.

No fast roping no care.
I’ve done that off some platforms (not real helicopters, just tall platforms with skids)
Bad ass…

Rapped off the Buffalo Malting Grain elevator today. It’s not as high as Concrete Central, but it’s close… about 130 feet is my guess. It is really really scary stepping over that edge… IanK took some pictures, I’m excited to see them…
We went down the flat face on the right of this picture, next to the gutter (the vertical black line)

Probably not. Cars are def low on my list of things I like at the moment. I have put maybe 100 miles on the E30 and lotus combined in the last month or two… Just currently not that interesting to me…

Went off the parking garage between city hall and the police station 2 nights ago with ItsOver.
It was his first time… a little dicey but he had fun… I think I’m gonna take a stab at going down the 9 story one between franklin and pearl…

haha that’s awesome. I wonder if there are any “no rappelling” laws… i mean, could you really get in trouble for going down a parking ramp?

I know I got chased out of there by security for skateboarding in there… IDK if it’d be some form of trespassing or not…

I think we might do concrete central tonight so long as the weather holds…

Yeah, skateboarding is hated on by all forms of authority. I’m sure they would not approve either way, but oh well, it looks like a lot of fun.
You should find a tall hotel and get a room on the top floor, then rappel out the window…over and over and over. haha may even catch some prostitutes in action on lower floors as you pass by.

THIS!
I was so down to do this and then I look down as I’m standing at the edge and I was just like WHAT? Once you start going, it’s amazing… But standing at the top, I was going to shit myself.
