Treejumps 0 #7 October 28, 2005 Any idea on what happened? Sounds like a respectable S/U delay with line twists and that he hit the wire with his body. Or maybe a S/D with line twists. Bummer. Heal quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #9 October 28, 2005 Can you confirm that this is the same guy who was injured in Colorado 2 weeks ago? It seems rather soon for him to be out jumping again, doesn't it?-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outrager 6 #10 October 28, 2005 Yo ! After all the usual "get well soon", i would like to say this: There is no excuse for hitting a guy wire on a slider-up jump. This is a rare case where any fine, probation or jail time is well deserved and is hardly enough to punish for such a mortal sin. bsbd! Yuri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteS 0 #11 October 28, 2005 This guy is the same one that went in, in Vegas 4 days short of a year ago. He could barely walk yesterday, what was he doing climbing an A ?He said it was his birthday yesterday, I guess it will be one he remembers... sort of (420).

DrThrill 0 #17 October 28, 2005 Very Nice, In Fact! Most of these kids have never heard of Mr. Ryde, don't know all the close calls and fiasco's he's been "entangled" in, nor his classic place in our history.

base428 1 #18 October 28, 2005 I've had the pleasure of jumping with Eric Ryde in the mid-90's. He's a great guy and hopefully, one day, his story can be openly told in detail to the masses (if it already isn't common knowlege). Long live Eric Ryde.(c)2010 Vertical Visions.

badenhop 0 #22 October 28, 2005 Hello, Eric has been very helpful over the years. He prefers to remain under the radar. Avery Edit: PS.

Actually, I think it's kind of better if the story of Eric Ryde is passed on by word of mouth, in person. His legend is great, and his deeds (and misdeeds) legion. I think he used to post on BLiNC, but I haven't seen him here.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
