PS. It was biking event also, so that's the reason why tandem-bike is behind...

Well Done Jari!!

Very Nice. Was it to Raise Money? Were you able to Raise any? I take my hat off to you. It is always nice to see a fellow performer who does something to give back to the community. Respect my friend.

Thanks for compliments Wolflock and Cindi!

They sold tickets to participate to bike contest... It was like challenge your friend to charity race. They also sold food etc. I don't know how much they raised money, but organizer was very pleased how things went and believed that escape draw good amount of the growd. Organizer also hinted that they know the date when they arrange the event next year...

I got some press and good mood (all profit went to help young people). And of course... I got my spirit high with well went escape!

I notice the Ankle harness. Did you have them made special?
Nice rig. That's the worst part of Inversion, the ankle pull / pain

Cindi

Ankle harness that I use, are for bunkee jumping. I ordered them through local shop, which is specialiced to sport equipment. They had to order harness from somewhere middle Europe. And that took time. They are quite good for ankles.

Other part of the rig is made by myself.

By the way ankle harness is "Only to be used in conjunction with a safety harness" So nobody shouldn't follow me to breaking that rule. Like always you have to know how your equipment work.

Man that is a great sequence of photos! I always enjoy seeing the photos of you working! You are one of the few that is truly out there and keeping escapes alive and in front of the public.

Is the woman in black your assistant?

Good work my friend!!

Thank you Harry,

woman in black isn't only my assistant; she is my fiancée.

Lucky man!

Hey if you are interested in harnesses (safety,ankle, etc....) There is a company in Las Vegas that makes them for movies, and stunts... They are the company who made the spiderman harness.... This hides very well under normal clothing so to speak........ I lvoe mine....

Fantastic! But I was hoping that you'd somehow vanish in mid air after the escape.

Live the magic!

Nice work Jari!

Thanks for all.

Starry, do you mean that you hope to see me drop out of the picture...

In July I'm going to perform upsidedown escape with new danger element. What makes that weekend even interesting to myself is underwaterescape day before that.

When stunts are over with a skill, I post info about the events.
