Jasmin 0 #1 December 30, 2003 Things are going well here in KL. Most competitors have completed at least round 3 or 4 (well, all bar one...) in the openings and accuracy event. Currently enjoying 2 rest days before jumping starts again on the 1st. No major injuries. Gib did a metacarpel...but very minor. Oh yeah, that's bar some bruising from the Skyventure Windtunnel at Genting. 8 of us hit it for some fun today and 15 are going up there tomorrow. Very funny stuff... Been a bit breezy but that's about it.xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

lazyfrog 0 #2 December 30, 2003 love these towers. When I start BASE jumping, I will definitely dream of going back there one day and not just visit the bridge between them.---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasmin 0 #3 January 5, 2004 Ok I've got a few messages about how the event worked, so here is: 10 jumps total. 7 jumps from the twins, for opening and landing accuracy. 3 jumps from Kl tower, for "aerial acrobatics". 4 categories are: teams, opening and landings, aerials and overall (which is the world champ) Total of 54 competitors began the event. In addition to Jeb, Gabrielle did a wrist and Ed did his legs. At the twins: Jumpers exited from a ramp on the 73rd floor and were judged on opening from 60th floor. A stock standard accuracy target was used for landings. At KL Tower: Jumpers exited at a height of about 1040ft above landing area and were judged on the difficulty of their manouver and how well and safely it was carried out. Zero scores for non-completion or safety violations were awarded. (All of this was made available to the the press by Skyventure, so I don't feel any inhibitions about writing this) The presentation dinner is tonight after the display at 7pm.xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."
