Description:
Michael Janschek A.K.A Mike J Punkt

Mike was on a solo jump, COD is impact on wall / ledges. Dachstein south wall has been jumped for a very long time and although its doable in "old-school" (any non-power) tracksuits, the exit is rather demanding with about 7 sec rock drop, and then more ledges and positive rock to outtrack, while heading must be kept in a rather tight range since left and right terrain is getting even more difficult. the camera is gone, so well never know for sure, but bad exit / slipping on exit or just a bad track seem to be the likeliest.


“Mike was a very special person. He loved his life and lived to the fullest. He was a crazy adventurous guy with a very big heart. Time sharing with him was full of laughing, crazy moments with good deep conversations. Everyone who knows him, will always remember him. He had friends all over the world. It is devastating that the world lost this very great light. Mike is greatly missing by all of his friends and his family. He will always be in our hearts and he will live in us forever!”
