Courteney 0 #1 February 9, 2005 Howzit, History was made this past weekend in Tsumeb, Namibia. On Sat, the 5th Feb at sunrise, the first wingsuits were flown over Tsumeb. Might not be a big deal but we jumped out of a Microlight!!! Unfortunetly we have no pics only a very shaky vid from the ground. Next we'll make a plan for some pics. Was very nervous and exciting and a lot of fun...just too many wires to look out for. Bernt Bruns and myself also did a coupla two ways and I took my wife for the first wingsuit rodeo over Tsumeb aswell. There were beers to be had galore. Anyone else done birdy from a Microlight? Ca-Caw, Courteney....drags me down like some sweet gravity!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VectorBoy 0 #5 February 10, 2005 Nice job, Jump as many craft as you can I always say but I think Grey semi-based in Eloy did an ultralight exit. A low one too. Movie clip link is on this forum a few months back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazymel 0 #6 February 10, 2005 Courteney got 5000 and Brunsie got 4500 from ground level. Mrs Courteney (that's me) LOVED her rodeo jump!! As I only have 165 jumps, I can only bum a ride... But it was AWESOME!!! Life is for the LIVING!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Courteney 0 #8 February 21, 2005 Hey Tonto, Yeah it was awesome...just a tad scary but that added to the experience. The wife is totally addicted to birdy rodeo. Tried one yesterday but it was not sooooo succesful...interesting though. I'd recommend the microlight jump if you ever get the chance. Take it easy, Ca-caw!
