Tracking Skills

[guest]

In the history of Kjerag to July 29th 2002 there has only been one individual to out-track the talus at Smellvaggen - and that was Christopher McDougal -with a 25.9 second delay and a 16 second canopy ride.

As of July 29th at approximately 7:00 pm history has changed. After working out the details with our boat crew including a cutaway before hitting the water, a jump to out-trackk Smellvaggen was planned by one Robert Kelly of Santa Cruz CA.

The jump went as planned and attempted because Kelly is a SUPER tracker due to his general softness and his skinny white bodyof about 150 pounds with 5 feet 10 inches of height.

Kelly easily out-tracked the talus. He then proceeded to cut away from the canopy as instructed before hitting the water. Unfortunately, Kelly imsjudged the cutaway and hit the water after slightly over 2 seconds of freefall from approximately 20 meters.

Today Rob Kelly is fine and will resume jumping tomorrow or the next day!
:P

Cool tracking, but what was the purpose of the cutaway above the water? Why not wait until feet get wet as per usual?

I was there on top of the wall when Douggs did the monster track ... it was just amazing!

Congratulations to Rob, nice one.

The purpose of the cutaway before hitting the water was to seperate the body from the cnaopy so as the boat coulod quickly come to the aid of the jumper without getting the canopy caught up in the prop.

Once again - Rob Kelly is a SUPER tracker!!!

Nice work Skinny Dawg!

What took you so long? I hope there is video; especially from the boat of the last two seconds.

If anyone out there can find the time, please spank him on the arse as hard as you can when he's not looking.

Congrats and cheers.

i heard there were some small heroes??thanks donna reid...

kelly cut away in an effort to burn kjerag. beware of him; he did it in norcal, he did it in switzerland, he would have done it in italy but the polizia wouldn't let him in.

congrats. MD#8MD(UNT#1
