mostwanted 0 #1 November 11, 2006 i just read that bavarian climber thomas huber now also is into basejumping, which supprised me first, because i could not imagine him skydiving... does anybody know how he prepared for base? did he make all the recommended skydives, FJC, etc.?

I had the chance (and honor) to join Thomas last year in the Swiss Valley where he did his very first cliff jumps together with his personal coach. Prior to this he was trained by his friend (who is a professional AFF trainer and a wellknown BASE jumper) as his personal coach for skydiving as well as for BASE jumps and did a lot bridge jumps in Croatia. I have never ever seen such perfect cliff jumps from a beginner in BASE as I have seen it from Thomas. He did perfect exits and very good tracks and always stayed on the safe side.

audacium 0 #3 November 11, 2006 Before people start wild guessing...yes he did start skydiving with the purpose of learning base jumping, and he got himself an experienced mentor, so no worries... Have not jumped with him though. -- Eduard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unclecharlie95 3 #6 November 12, 2006 Spent time with Thomas and some other climbers at ITW this summer. Solid jumper and great guy. I look forward to see what jumps he will perform in the future with his combined skills. JBASEstore.it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
