mccordia 74 #1 March 6, 2009 jump the balloon Have you ever wanted to show a non-skydiving friend what its really like to fly a wingsuit!? Have you ever wanted to jump a balloon to practice or feel what its like to make a still-air exit with a wingsuit, like on a BASE jump. Or just experience a balloonjump for the first time. Or maybe just watch other people jump? www.flylikebrick.com and www.tunedbyjlo.com now give you that opportunity! Mark Saterday(morning) 28 March in your calendar! As we will be organizing a special balloon jump at Harfsen (Netherlands) where you will be able to fly your wingsuit from an altitude of 5000 ft / 7000 ft (depends on air traffic). Exit with your close friend or loved one right there with you, watching you leave the balloon and fly. Flying for distance, flocking with friends. Its all possible! We will also collect video, which will be available online as an edited video a while later. This is not a normal balloonjump, so only wingsuits allowed (unless you have a REAAAALLY good reason not to jump a wingsuit) We've arranged a special discount price for both skydivers and passengers, including food. Cheap sleeping options available as well. Phoenix-Fly demo suits are available for the jump! For more information, send an email to flylikebrick@gmail.comJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

elias123 0 #5 March 6, 2009 Quote only wingsuits allowed Ah, too bad I'd love to make a jump with my tracking gear from a balloon and get that still air base jump-like feeling. And maybe even make a teeny tiny bit of distance "In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #6 March 6, 2009 Sounds like a valid reason to me ;) Shoot me and email at flylikebrick and you've got a slot on the balloon if you want :)JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elias123 0 #7 March 7, 2009 Sweet ! :) I'm having doubts if I have the financial resources to make a balloon jump with you guys, but I will definitely try. I'll send and email right now. Blues"In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James.UWE 0 #8 March 8, 2009 If i wasn't off to Perris in 28 days I'd be tempted to get a cheap flight over with the Impact tracking suit I bought through your website! Luckily they have a balloon we can jump at Perris though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccordia 74 #10 March 31, 2009 Heyhey! Last weekend the weather didnt cooperate, but the weather forecast for the coming week is nothing short of amazing. We have the two biggest hot air balloons of Europe there for the drop, plus an additional press balloon for the media. If you want to join in on this one, send us an email at flylikebrick@gmail.com before midnight tonight, so we can ad your name to the list that we need to supply the balloon company tomorrow morning. We'll be getting 7000 ft of altitude. BASE gear is allowed (pinrigs only). Expect some serious pictures and video after the weekend! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Deniq 0 #11 March 31, 2009 Hi Jarno, please let us know the final start time, because of summer-time re-setting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #12 March 31, 2009 Heyhey, I asked this question yesterday to the coordinator, and he sayd it wouldnt change, but tonight Ill hear the final starting time. In case its earlier (arrg!) Ill post it here and via email to all participants..JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #13 April 4, 2009 The weather forecast promised clear blue skies and a mild breeze, but sadly (after most people got up at 4:00 am to be there in time) we had to end the day pretty early, with a cancelation due to bad weather (low cloud cieling and mild rain). Which was weird (and sh*tty) looking at the clear blue skies we've had for the whole week up untill now (and probably again tomorrow). We will set up this event again for the start of next month, and we will contact everyone again with a proposed date soon. For the next event we will (again) have a press balloon for wingsuit flybys. Everyone eager to be there, just shoot us an email at flylikebrick@gmail.com and we will send you further details/dates as soon as we have em! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
