If someone knows about pushing the limits, it is Jeb Corliss.
His dream has been to land a wingsuit without parachute.
He has been practicing flying and has done amazing videos, pushing the envelope.
Today the bucket of luck emptied dramatically.
Jeb was jumping in Cape Town, at the Table Mountain, flying wingsuit.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t clear the ledge completely and touched the edge.
The bucket didn’t empty completely and he is still alive, although suffering multiple fractures.
I know that this is just a set back.
Jeb will get back on its feet and fly again.
In the meantime, I wish him a speedy recovery.

Kevin Energy was playing his last set at Sade last night. Had an amazing time with the guys as usual. Hard to explain the feeling, and am sure this video will not give the full picture.

If 5 years ago, someone would have told me that they were building a new mobile operator in France, I would have though they were crazy. It takes an amazing amount of resource, energy, money and time to build an infrastructure that supports modern technologies. On top of that, you [...]
Quick update! Last Friday I was invited by a friend to join an event at Premier Park, a driving track in southern Finland. The event was quite interesting as we got a chance to discover the different tracks around activities such as off road driving, emergency braking and traction control [...]
