I was lucky to get to go on some hikes with them in Norway this September.  Even the jumps that they "messed up" blew me away.  Way to charge boys!   They are joined on a couple jumps by Norwegian Kristian Moxnes and Haavard Flaat.  And thanks for throwing props to Five Ten in the video! ]]> Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:37:00 -0500 12417 2011-12-15 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_soul-flyers-take-flight-off-spire-1323963439.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_happy-mnkey-on-spire-1323963439.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_laughing-at-radio-1323963439.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_library-0389-1323963440.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_soul-flyers-take-flight-off-spire-1323963440.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_soulflyers-step-off-spire-1323963440.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_two-monkeys-track-troll-spire-1323963440.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12402-andy-lewis-show-reel-2011 http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12402-andy-lewis-show-reel-2011 Sketchy Andy Lewis presents his 2011 show reel!  Slackline, Highline, Free Solo, Rock Climbing, Rope Jumping, BASElining, BASE jumping, tricklining, and hard falls!  check it out! ]]> Sat, 10 Dec 2011 01:16:00 -0500 12402 2011-12-10 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12402_slacklife1_1323710726.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12399-listen-to-espen-fadnes-thoughts-in-flight-jt-holmes http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12399-listen-to-espen-fadnes-thoughts-in-flight-jt-holmes Espen Fadnes and Goovinn together came up with the idea to place he viewer in the mind of the wingsuit flyer. They actually listen to his thought process in flight by managing to capture his voice in flight through sensors placed on his voice box/trachea or something. Pretty interesting stuff.

I have been wanting this jump for over a year now! It's taken a lot of time for me to muster up the courage to jump this 124 ft object! It was such an amazing rush to finally accomplish this jump and I was happy to share the experience with some of my favorite people. ]]> Wed, 07 Dec 2011 19:58:00 -0500 12398 2011-12-07 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_PC070581_1323287903.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12390-jumping-off-of-low-stuff-ellen-brennan http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12390-jumping-off-of-low-stuff-ellen-brennan After working a night shift at the hospital in Salt Lake City, I drove down to Moab and was able to squeeze in a Jump off of a 170 ft cliff! Because it was such a short cliff, I had my friend Richard hold my PC while I jumped to ensure a quick opening. It's always great to finish off a long work night with a good jump to reset my mind :) ]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:17:00 -0500 12390 2011-12-05 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_IMG2529_1323112635.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12386-less-packing-more-jumping-jill-kuzman http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12386-less-packing-more-jumping-jill-kuzman Thanksgiving is a special time of year for BASE jumpers. The annual Turkey Boogie is in full swing in Moab, UT! A day out at Mineral Bottom Canyon is full of super packed truck rides up the switchbacks, cliffs as far as the eye can see and tons of friends around to play! Nothing like some unpacked jumps for saving time and maximizing jump numbers!!

Yesterday in Moab, Utah my friend Diego launched his Hang Glider while I flipped off the cliff catching some of the best visuals in my jumping experience!  It was amazing to be looking at the cliff upside-down while a giant Wing flew right over me! ]]> Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:24:00 -0500 12304 2011-11-17 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_IMG2490_1321572272.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12248-west-virginias-bridge-day-2011-jt-holmes http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12248-west-virginias-bridge-day-2011-jt-holmes The world's best event held ever before in the history of the world! 450 BASE jumpers.  Thousands of spectators.  People rappelling the 874ft bridge, 6 rescue boats, everyone having tons and tons of fun.  Big props to the tandem base guys and all of the brave ones who made their first base jump at bridge day.  A special thanks to Red Bull and Curtis Ferguson for the hospitality.

We weren’t expecting the Eiger to be climbable so both of us hadn’t packed any alpine gear. We navigated our way up the icy face, wearing blue jeans and sneakers. Lucky for us we did have some gear; we both had Fiveten shoes and Stealth, the stickiest rubber on earth, on our feet. Ivo was pretty much styling with his high top ‘Insights’. He strutted through some snowy sections and even kicked a few steps.
