A huge congratulations goes out to Spence - dude - your livin up to it!
Just the thought of looking down the face of a building with your canopy hanging beneath...it sends chills down my spine.
I hate to do it, but I think it's time to raise the question:
Who will be the first to McConkey all four objects?
Only the A and the E remain...
C-ya!

just wondering if there is any video of this?
Yes I had POV forward helmet mount (.30 W/A PC-9) and 8mm video from the side of the balcony (which I still need a copy of!)
It was sort of an impromptu jump....long drive back from Idaho......my rigs were unpacked.......pulling in back at home at 3 am......my buddies going on to their 3rd(!) and finally load of the night (it was getting light soon)......and me not wanting to miss out on the action.....plus (most importantly) knowing 100% that I could do it! <I had done my first McConkey earlier that day at Perrine>
Damien(USA), Douggs(Australia), and me(Canada)......also did the first ever 3 way international TARD jump from Perrine....yes it is possible to have onheadings if you set the nose...get a little airspeed before release.....and feed the lines out with your other hand rather than dumping them....(BTW we spaced out 10 feet apart along the rail for exit)
Although Douggsand I found out quickly after a little CRW that going slider up does not translate into slower openings! Damien did a nice 1-1.5 sec delay to stay clear of the nasties.......but blew both toggles on opening....
Yes, it was a big day for tards all over the world!

nice work.
Alright all you retards! This stuff is blowing up. Huck yea! Now who is gonna do the first tard off of a building? Not me. I bet Miles will, he's f-ing crazy. Packing is overrated. And it takes too long. And you can pack a malfunction too! Why the hell would you want any of that crap? Packed rigs take way too long to open too.
What I really want to know is who is gonna do the first "Under" off of an A. Imagine climbing up with an unpacked rig!
you're a f---king lunitic!:P
Congrats. Spence, sure does sound like fun!!
Send me your email address, I would like to ask you a few questions regarding the jump.
