Wow, what a whirlwind so far this month. Harry and I took 14 jumpers to China, where we performed a BASE demo from the world's third tallest building, the Jin Mao Tower. 62 injury free jumps from the building in two days, including the demo on October 5th, with an on-site audience of 1/2 million people, and broadcast live to over 1 billion people. Then on our last day in Shanghai, we received the sad news of the tragic accident in Colorado. RIP Dwain. Onward we went to Hong Kong and Macau. We made 60 injury free jumps from the Macau Tower on October 9. The Chinese have now had a full introduction to our sport. Once again, on our way to the airport to go home, we learned of another accident in Idaho. RIP Jason. Friends, this is a dangerous sport, please be safe! See you all in a few days at the NRGB!
