Who jumped the Shangri-la Hotel in Dubai on 1st September 2003?????

I live in Dubai. I was busted for BASE jumping here 3 years ago. I haven’t jumped here since. I have a Police record. This is a police state. That means they can make up the rules as they go along,. You have no rights here!

On September 2nd, at 9:00 AM I was woken up in my home and escorted to the Dubai police station and questioned for a long time. After verifying my alibi I was let go.

I’m not pissed off, I’m just curious …..Who are you? Where are you from? How did the jump go? There was some serecurity camera footage of you picking up your gear with blood on your face. What happened? Are you OK? Please talk to me!

Steve.

How you doing Steve.
Read your post with great interest. I am going to visit Dubai for a week at the end of this month; not a Base trip, but was going to bring my rig just in case. Heard there are some B's under construction.
Iwould appreciate any advice or information.Or if you want to make a comeback, perhaps we could meet up.
I don't want to cause you any grief with the authorities; and i don't want 100 lashes if i get busted!
