This is a "Hey everyone, look at me" post:

A friend just says they saw me BASE jumping on Discovery Channel Planet Earth. So if you are on the west coast you can tune in at 8 and maybe see some cool wingsuit flying next to cliffs in Italy.

already played on the east coast... not sure mtn time

have you pee'd in your suit yet?

Just curious.


Maybe because you were really scared. Or because it was Tuesday and thats what you do on Tuesdays. I'm not gonna judge.

hey there chris... say, you know, every now and then, we really DO need a "look at me post":

we should rightly feel that we have something to offer to others, as that is what life is all about, and if we dont share, we will never know who was enriched...

:)

say, thanks for sharing... now i hope that some day i may see this... and, i nearly could have been at the grandkids to see it tonight... sadly, i was sleeping... too many early hours this week... i didnt over to their tv... sorry i missed you... :(

sure hope i see it though...
take good care... hopefully, that IS possible, somehow... :o

Saw it here on the far west coast. Nice Shoot. Thanks for heads up! Being 41 now I debate between skydiving and paragliding. I decide over the next year, but the squirrel suits lean me towards BASE. Yea I said this before but I decided on a career change instead.
Aloha,

Hey Chris,

Yeah, that's a nice clip alright. I'm heading to the drop zone tomorrow!! But I gotta know. What does it feel like flying past a cliff only 2 feet away? Can you really see that far in front of you that you will miss, say, at tree limb sticking our or a boulder or something? That's a pretty good glide ratio you get with that suit.

Post up your upcoming stuff too.
