Hello my friends,
as you know I recently got myself a suit and even more recently started baseflying it. Now I just got back from LB where I made baseflights no. 3 to 10. I'm so stoked about some of the flights that I just have to share this with you.
After I already made my first one from the Eiger, I went up there two more times and made flights no. 3 and 5 from the mushroom. On no. 5 I more than doubled the distance, flew 1:15 min and almost reached the train station Alpiglen (this was going in a turn, I think going straight I would have made it). Then I made some more flights from La Mousse and from The Nose; check out the video from flight no. 8 which I think was my best flight so far (22 sec. from La Mousse and almost to the second street).

Weather permitting I will go up on the Eiger again somewhen in September, before the winter starts. Then I also wanna go to Arco. If someone wants to join me for some flying just give me a shout.
Damn, I love that suit!
