9:52 am
face to set the world's highest base jump but though the descent was to take a matter of seconds the planning for the record breaking attempt had been long in the making. preparation process projects have started two years ago right after my return from a location check on their wrist then i made a new suit was them all asked them to begin and then i did a few tests. thinking quite positive about. my job from a. forty nine year old was a is a veteran mountaineer and skydiver awful with ten thousand germs and combined his passions to invent base climbing weapon to cement a sand it big and jump in a flying sit with everest the russian first had to reach a sport he aimed to leave then he and his crew spent three weeks equipment ising in the himalayas before beginning their sound on the chinese side up the north route it took him four days to climb from base camp to the jump point in temperatures of
9:53 am
around minus eighteen degrees celsius and his band fly by hours waiting for the wind to drop before making his epic jump. then after all that he flew for just under a minute it's beads of around two hundred kilometers per hour. right behind me you can see is the highest mountain as a result i just have a lender to. answer but i'm off of their arrest i was a little bit there was. a couple of kids who could get in was a shot they said to do yes. but there is that it works. up to going to bring the world's highest mountain and setting your world base jump record of seven thousand two hundred and twenty meters history dictates that was a bad round junket is unlikely to take a break and we'll see more thrilled in another job dropping stuff on sunday but i

9:55 am
passion for skateboarding is a good indicator of how far the sport has come in russia so much so that the city authorities are no longer fighting against it on the streets but actively promoting it and giving skateboarders prime spots like the state park in moscow's goalkeeper was the goal we have every year there are new riders and with them the level continues to get a better kids who are jumping off the pavements are now taking on half pipes and grinding poles which is awesome and having a skate park in gorky park is just massive it's my favorite place the murders of sponsorships for russian state is another major step for the movement and although there are some who frown on just how commercial the sport has become it has helped to make it more accepted and attracting pro status from around the world to russia for various events is only benefiting the local state see the ticket. cut. that are not like the rest of europe is kind of like if it.
