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!!!!

Gearing up for the Throwdown, I landed the skyak in the ditch at the skydive Sabastian DZ. Surfed a bit of the water then turned right and slid up on the grass to keep things dry. What a swooper day.

Human Flight 3D takes flight in the Albatross. July 3rd was a beautiful partly cloudy day in Sebastian. Exactly what we needed to fly the Albatross around some really pretty puffies. Two touch and goes and two intercoastal water landings were really really cool too. I’d like to thank captains John Shoffner and Mike Vail for the tour of Sea and Sky. Getting chased by the Twin Star heli with the 3D camera mounted to it, added to the coolness.

This is one of my favorite pictures from our BASE jumping trip to Baffin Island. We called this rock Ottawa Peak, it was 4390ft higher than the frozen ocean landing area. The picture was taken by our climbing guide Mike Libecki. The jumpers are Shane McConkey, Miles Daisher, Mike Vail, and Charles Bryan. I hope to go back to Baffin some day.
