TomAiello 26 #1 August 13, 2003 Howdy all, I'm taking an hour break from jumping in Norway to hop on a friend's DSL line and post a few new videos that I've edited in the last week or so. Check out Petter Bergsjoe--he's an amazing flyer: Smellvegen to Lysebotn Crossing Lysefjord Sorry for the low quality--I've only got so much space on my web page. I'll see if I can send higher quality copies to Jari and get him to put them up on the bird-man web page. Have fun!-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #2 August 13, 2003 Norway now? I think you must have been a bank robber in your former life . I can't get on to look at the vids, get a timeout error . Safe flights dude, have fun and keep posting more video. GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #3 August 13, 2003 Yeah, after I posted the videos, I posted on some forums about them, and my website was down from overtraffic in about thirty seconds. If you try again later (maybe in a couple hours), it'll probably be useable.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #4 August 13, 2003 The load appears to be too much for my poor little personal web page. If you can't get it there, try the skydivingmovies.com ftp server. I'm uploading three videos, McCutaway (my cutaway), Smell (a rather impressive wingsuit flight--not by me, as I fly like a brick anvil) and Lysefjord (another wingsuit flight).-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin922 0 #6 August 13, 2003 Hey tom, have you ever seen someone fly a wingsuit from one "E" deploy high and land on top of another "E" which is high enough to repack and jump again from? Just curious.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toni 0 #7 August 19, 2003 even possible without a wing. :-)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #8 August 25, 2003 Generally, the jumps that do that (double jumps) are non-wingsuit. Most of the wingsuit flights just overfly the landing and re-exit zone and keep going. I saw a good double slider-down in Southern Norway a few weeks ago, and there is a rather nice double slider up in South Africa--but since Outrager overflew it, all the locals have bought wingsuits to turn it into one big flight.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #10 January 15, 2006 I've got them on another hard drive. I'll dig them out and try to repost them to SM.com. I may try for a slightly higher quality, as well.
