August 20th was the day I did my 2500th BASE jump! Lucky me, I was able to jump from the Mushroom perched on the wall of the Great Eiger Mountain in Switzerland!!!!! What a treat. Donning the squirrel suit, I did a gainer (backwards flipping foreward jumping) exit for Shane McConkey, then the rest was for ME! After a bit of flight and laughter, I threw two front flips. One for each thousand jumps I’ve done. Then one barrel roll for each hundred more jumps for a total of five fast rotating barrel rolls. A bit of back flying cause I wanted to look back at where I came from. Then a nice flight to a pretty high pull so that I could Yodel, laugh and enjoy the rest of the time in the air. I landed right where Shane and I did when we jumped it for our first time together in 2005. I joined the Hungarian BASE team who also had thrown their carcasses into the air from the Mushroom. Mushrooms can make you crazy I hear. We rode the train to Wengen for some lunch and a pack job. Then off to jump The Moose for jump #2501. Thanks FabianManBro for taking the pictures. I like your style. I’m stoked to have logged this many jumps. I can’t wait until I double this and get to log the 5000th!!!! I’m on it. Already up to 2505 this evening. Lauterbrunen is awesome. We are getting super primed up to shoot a bunch more Human Flight in 3D!!!!
