RIP Downfallen.

[747_kirki]

Without any shadow of a doubt, his pictures on this site are / were the very best. He's the only user I've ever searched for specifically, just to read as many of his reports as I could find.

I actually wish his pics were available to buy, 'cos I for one wouldn't mind getting some of those London shots printed up onto a big canvas for my office.

RIP. True legend.

It's a shame I never really knew the guy. But it doesn't make it any less sad the fact that someone so young is unfortunately no longer with us.

R.I.P and try not to get into any bother climbing cranes up in U.E. Heaven matey!

Rest in Peace.

DF's been an inspiration. My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. I hope you don't mind me sharing this poem I remembered...

High Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I never met Downfallen but I know he was active on this site and this must be a massive loss to a lot of people here. My sympathies to all.

I enjoyed reading his reports. Seemed like a guy that was never board. I never had the pleasure to meet him, But being on here has given me a chance to know him. My heart goes out to his family and friends. R.I.P mate your inspiration will live on.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Downfallen, but his reports were truly inspiring. A tragic loss to the UE scene.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Rest in peace.

You were indeed a legend in your own lifetime.

Such sad news.

Aside from his epic BASE jumps, his explores in and around London were beyond amazing.
