Swooping Seattle with Squirrel Suits Super Spectacularly! Say this ten times fast. Nice one you got it. Well, Luke Aikins organized up a party in the sky for the squirrel team of Andy Farrington, Jon Devore, himself and I to fly over the iconic Space Needle in Downtown Seattle. As you know the Pacific Northwest weather played a minor role in making this plan come together. Whe’lp. We got er done and here is the video to share and enjoy. Hope to get more of this kind of thing going. Stay tuned for more Squirrel action over New York and Pittsburgh.

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!!!!
